Of course they’re going to call it REST if they think it is REST, in the

implement a small sub-set of what being completely agile actually is.

The point is precisely naming. There are things that people should never do (using the verbs without respecting their semantics), and there are trade offs in REST that sometimes make sense (such as the cited versioning in the URL, as it's browser friendly). The problem is that we call all of that 'REST' and it makes confusion. In a better world a few different "intermediate" practices would have been given different names.
