This is why we can make GET and POST requests without an OPTIONS preflight...
Apparently, since developers should already have been protecting against cross-origin requests on GET and POST via other means (CSRF tokens), there was no need for the additional preflight protection.
They only added preflights to requests that browsers couldn't make previously.
