What's the usecase for this?

1. People that have an application and want to insta-create a REST API for it

2. A backend-as-a-service for people that don't want to do any backend coding (mobile apps, web sites)

Those people need to think a bit harder before smashing out some automagical API that things will rely on for basically forever.

They sure do. I've written clients for services that have been autogenned from a database like this, and experienced pain repeatedly because every change they make breaks their API.

At least this product realises that and attempts to deal with versioning. Unfortunately that way is by pushing the complexity into the database.
