Honestly, that’s what most web API’s are. You are just pushing data around. The “hard” part is that everyone has their own opinions on how it should be formatted.
And of course the minor inconvenience of having to give the user a way to make data entry easy, convenient and consistent.
But deep down it’s all spreadsheets. The faster you can wrap your head around that the easier programming is for you.

but from a programmers perspective - shouldn’t it feel natural - you just keep filling up forms doing the same work again and again?

From a programmers perspective it takes a grand total of 2 minutes to do a bash/python script or jupyter notebook that exposes a semantically adequate interface. Maybe 5 minutes, if instead of just doing something quick and dirty yourself you decide to get into an argument with an LLM.
What do you mean by natural? Do you want stateful APIs?

Then what should they feel like? I don’t really know what you’re actually trying to say with the spreadsheet comment to begin with.
