Comment:

 The default context is `view`. The Block Editor made the architectrual
 decision to set the default context to queries to use `edit`.

 The `edit` context allows exposing fields that are not public, even if the
 resource is public. For instance, the raw post content is exposed when
 requesting a resource with an `edit` context.

 There are a number of fields in the taxonomy endpoint that are not exposed
 publicly. If you don't need those more privileged fields, then you can
 query the resource using the `view` context.
