When I started using expess i spent a whole day trying to receive requests from the browser with react js. I was sending requests to the backend with postman and it works fine but it doesn't receive and requests from the browser. And then I found that to be able to receive browser requests you have to use the cors module. So I thought it would be convenient to add it by default as most of express API's will be consumed by some sort of a frontend which may work on a browser 😅

It depends on if the server is hosting the page or not. But yeah I see what you mean, makes sense! Really cool project 🤗
