They're like type or name errors because the "apple" and "orange" here are like identifiers, not data. Sure, to the browser, they're data. But in terms of the structure of the web application, they're identifiers like variables, function names, or types.

For example, the HTTP endpoint "/apples?count=5" is like a function "apples(int count)."

It certainly would. That's why I'm wondering if you consider it possible.
