Forgive me if I’m oversimplifying, but isn’t this just “stateless servers” and “router-service separation” at its core? Maybe this isn’t targeted for the API crowd, but anybody who has spent even a few months learning modern client-server programming understands this, and web dev is pretty common these days…
Not targeted at the API crowd really no, more client side applications, but it seems similar principles have been applied in various places / frameworks as spoken about in other comments here.

Yes, I'm sure your right, but there are a huge number of people who are not web devs who have not been exposed to these fundamental principles and how they may apply in other operating environments :)
