Again inaccurate. HTTP verbs are present in HTTP 2.0. Anyone who has a chance will upgrade their servers to use 2.0. You can use protobufs with REST not restrictions their either. There's bunch of REST usuall things people do which some think are requirement.
It just so happens that HTTP was in doctoral dissertation when REST was described.

Point is using underlying protocol to communicate while REST is architectural style that depends on it so not all would satisfy the need as HTTP did.

How is me saying that REST usually goes with HTTP/1.1 inaccurate? It is the default and people are still making the transition.
