What I thought was strange is that we're not in the 'old SOAP days' any more.
I get what they wanted to do - speed things up by including common data in every request, and avoid state in apps. What I found strange was the way they solved it, esp. given they're (apparently) using Python and Node.js - writing a middleware to insert the common data would be far easier than implementing their own routing layer or whatever they've done.
Of course I'm making a lot of assumptions about what kind of stack exactly they're using (assuming they're using a web framework that we've heard of)
