Comment (by jnylen0):

 I would prefer that we solve the general case in #38131 instead of adding
 special logic based on `$_GET['action']`.  That logic isn't very RESTful
 and I foresee hundreds of other special cases appearing for wp-admin usage
 if we're not careful.

 The extra response size seems like something we can live with until #38131
 is done.
