I don't think this will catch on, nor do I think it really should. Nearly all applications out there need a robust security layer to keep people from messing with things they shouldn't have permissions to.
Additionally, you should always validate business logic on the back end. Otherwise it's trivial to, say, give yourself a 10% raise. Or confirm that you got the new high score.
Even if used as a backend protocol, there's just way too much overhead in HTTP requests and responses.
I can see use for something like this as a dev tool if only given private network access for only dev tools, but aside from that I'm not sure it's that worthwhile.
