I think good URLs matter for the backend too. - we should have better URLs *everywhere*. Good clear URLs are of benefit to everybody. Our users can bookmark a URL and understand what it means when they see it in the future. They can quickly navigate by modifying a URL in the address bar. Good URLs are an important part of a RESTful API ( https://restfulapi.net/resource-naming/). The word "control" in the middle of all our APIs is a technical implementation detail, and it's just noise for all our users all of the time. It's as bad as .jsp, .php3, .aspx on the end of URLs, which are, thank goodness, becoming much less common . "main" is not much better.
