I work on enterprise observability, professionally. I think conflating service names (such as /product) and service parameters (such as /product/{product_id}) in the same syntax is a big mistake.
The reason is you want tools to be able to tell a difference and discern how to categorize by service (for reporting). Also, there are privacy implications for monitoring tools, since query parameters might contain sensitive data.
There already are query parameters in the URL, that is better. I wish people never went with the idea of putting parameters in the path.
