This is just a start at adjusting the content based on the recent docs-focused REST office hours chat. @TimothyBJacobs if you could review this ex-post-facto, i'd appreciate it.

Using the WordPress REST API you can create a plugin to provide an entirely new admin experiences for WordPress, build a brand new interactive front-end experience, or bring your WordPress content into completely separate applications.

The REST API is a developer-oriented feature of WordPress. It provides data access to the content of your site, and implements the same authentication restrictions -- content that is public on your site is generally publicly accessible via the REST API, while private content, password-protected content, internal users, custom post types, and metadata is only available with authentication or if you specifically set it to be so. If you are not a developer, the most important thing to understand about the API is that it enables the block editor and modern plugin interfaces without compromising the security or privacy of your site.

The nittiest of nit picks, but maybe "if you specifically set it to be so." to "if you specifically set it to be public." The sentence is a bit long so it took me a few read throughs to know what "so" was referring to.
