For me the Fetch API is basically that: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs...

It still doesn't go POST in a nice way like the jQuery API does BUT it is not worth bringing jQuery to the page just for making requests with slightly nicer syntax.

What’s not nice about POST?

    fetch(url, {
      method: “POST”,
      body: “a body”
    })

It has some limitations as well around timeouts, cross site cookies, and progress tracking (uploads, for example).

Sure, but those aren’t common uses for $.ajax. Fetch can get you 95% of the way there.
