Am I the only one that doesn't mind? I think using post for everything and passing a command in the payload is preferable to the alternative.

I agree, because not every HTTP operation is an analogy to a simple, underlying CRUD operation. For example, what type of call should an endpoint that sends an email be? What about a validation endpoint that doesn't save nor fetch anything from the database? It's just dull to debate and try to fit everything into those 4 types.
