From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

But what if you have multiple optional parameters?
have multiple routes point to the same endpoint, dynamically adding the parameters serverside
That sounds harder than just using query parameters. What are the benefits?
Having more beautiful and structured URLs. I suppose for those cases it's more of a preference, and with the tooling I use (.NET) it's not too difficult to achieve.
I guess my gripe with your original statement was that I was thinking mostly of state like user login etc. I have to concede it's not totally garbage for the cases you mentioned.
