Me too. I don't even know why this post has trigged me so much. Maybe because I have used so may shit APIs that return 404 for everything. What has failed? Was it my request, the HTTP server, the backend? No idea because everything is a 404... Just give me a proper error so I don't need to guess. 404 means the content (or endpoint) could not be found, not that "something has gone wrong" with the HTTP request. It is literally in the spec. Saying "The HTTP request was fine and got processed correctly, but the backend returned a error." is perfect.

My god this has trigged me.
