I think what they mean is they do not want to have to use populate everywhere and deeply nested and convoluted queries to get things like images and such. If we wanted pieces of data, we’d use GraphQL. I have no idea how to do as I just started and am looking for the answer myself.
Instead of this: GET /api/articles/:id?populate[0]=seoData&populate[1]=seoData.sharedImage&populate[2]=seoData.sharedImage.media
We’d like to do: GET /api/articles/
And just get the entire collection from that request.
