Comment:

 @lougreenwood Rather than using `remove_post_type_support()` to disable
 the corresponding UI in the admin, I'd suggest unregistering the meta box
 instead. Unregistering the meta box is a bit more conceptually precise, as
 it's only impacting the UI.

 Closing as `wontfix` because I don't think we'll be changing the REST API
 behavior at this point. Happy to chat in Slack if you want to discuss
 potential alternatives.
