No. You have just pasted REST-ish ad-hoc protocol. This is not RPC. RPC uses a properly defined protocol, such as XML-RPC or JSON-RPC or Thrift or gRPC, and it doesn't shit all over the place in URL router: the procedure to be called is encoded in the body of the request, along with parameters.

When you consider RPC only as this extremely contrived protocol, of course REST is better.
(I, too, don't know why the author is trying to pretend that this incredibly narrow specification is somehow representative of RPC in general.)
