The saving would be minuscule in the best case.

The server must validate them anyway, you can't trust a client won't
insert a "?" in the supposed path component.

With a single request uri, one validation process is enough; with
separated path and query, we need 2 validation processes, slightly
different, which can't be good for performance.
