Can't say I really miss it. I personally prefer just using a jupyter notebook for these kinds of tasks. With a custom tool like this it becomes a dead end with the data. Maybe you want to decode it if it is on a binary format. Or you want to plot some basic stats?
I never quite saw enough value in tools like postman. Usually either what you are doing is trivial enough for vanilla curl or complex enough to warrant reaching for a general purpose programming language.
Instead, I just hacked together a small Python library, called all the APIs from there, and pushed to Git. Everyone on my team understands it, I have 100% control, and no cloud needed.
Not sure if you're referring to Postman or Bruno. The biggest purported benefit of Bruno over Postman is that it saves API request collection files in simple, human-readable text files that are designed to be committed to a source control repo and easily shared, in a way that's not particularly tied to the Bruno app.

I don't have time to look at a 15 minute marketing ("BILLION dollar") video. Is it available in text form?
Does Bruno decode e.g. AVRO or protobuf? Connect to a schema server?
What is considered "human readable"? A JSON file like postman?
Could you elaborate what is the benefit of using this tool compared to a REPL/notebook?
Are you affiliated with Bruno?
I didn't know about Bruno until I saw this post on HN.
I’ve just switched to using hurl. Can’t be bothered with any of this nonsense with all these GUI programs
