I just recently dipped into a not so old Java project with 4 levels of inheritance just for controllers. The lowest one defined all crud methods with swagger annotations. If you wanted to disable for example "delete", you had to override it in child controller and throw and error instead. I'll take non-generic explicit controller over inheritance hell any time 😅
