Comment:

 I think this needs to be revisited, for the same purpose we have functions
 like `wp_doing_ajax()` etc. Every function in WordPress can be misused,
 but a `wp_doing_rest()` or `wp_is_rest_request()` would allow fixing weird
 hacks necessary when working with unit tests. See #43751 for an example.
