Comment (by pento):

 There are still options to disable it, but it will hopefully encourage a
 more considered approach. For example, returning an error on the
 `rest_authentication_errors` filter will prevent all REST API calls, but
 would hopefully encourage a little bit of nuance - returning an error when
 `! is_user_logged_in()`, for example.

 I'm inclined to think that an off switch like `rest_enabled` is too much
 of a blunt instrument.
