Comment (by TimothyBlynJacobs):

 > A lot can be achieved just by hacking at the WordPress template
 hierarchy with no knowledge of WordPress or of writing plugins.

 You have to know that these templates exist, the exact same way you would
 know about REST. It is another technical detail. If you are going to such
 extreme lengths to remove this information, also doing it manually for the
 REST API does not seem like a step too far at all.
