All the other problems with it aside literally this... All operating system providers, including Linux somehow, are supposed to implement a system with a background API that can be pinged by websites through a method that hasn't even been made yet.. concept of a thing to your software that communicates with this other concept of a thing or else we fined into the ground effective in less than one year... Good luck.
Pssst Microsoft.. pssst Apple... Don't worry we'll send you exactly what to put in your code. Just keep it to yourselves tho
How I understood it would be that the api could be implemented as an API contained within your os. So it would be more equivalent to comparing it to a system call like open file or allocate memory than a REST API.
