I have a couple of Steem bots and yeah, a restful API just makes so much more sense. Load balancing and Caching Middleware is easier to add in and there's much better support.
For certain lite applications, not need to use a Steem sdk library at all. For example: I have a Google sheet that scrapes web pages on Steemd to get data. I can replace this with a rest call easy and less brittle.
tl;dr zOMG yaaaassss
