Description

Set up Plone 5.2 on Python 3.7. Spawn a new Plone site. Try to create an item in Plone via REST.

>>> import requests
>>> r = requests.post('http://localhost:8080/Plone/', headers={ 'Accept': 'application/json', 'Content-Type': 'application/json', }, json={ '@type': 'Document', 'title': 'My Document', }, auth=('admin', '******'))
>>> r
<Response [201]>

Imho it should not work because you have not installed plone.restapi in the configuration.

Research direction

Reproduce the reported setup with Plone 5.2 on Python 3.7, create a new Plone site, and send the documented POST request to the site root. Trace why the REST endpoint accepts the request without plone.restapi being installed or enabled. Done means the behavior matches the expected installation configuration and a regression test covers it.
