Comment (by Bernhard Reiter):

 The controller's `get_items()` method has [https://github.com/WordPress
 /wordpress-develop/blob/193f6eb26e65216576a10492dd4103044c3a079c/src/wp-
 includes/rest-api/endpoints/class-wp-rest-terms-controller.php#L320-L327
 two code branches]:

 1. If a post ID is given in the network request, `get_items()` uses
 [https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_get_object_terms/
 `wp_get_object_terms()`] to get the terms associated with the given post.
 That function includes [https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-
 develop/blob/654475fa25c88a2fecf9290ffcd9512b553a8574/src/wp-
 includes/taxonomy.php#L2292-L2310 code] to respect the default query
 `args` specified when the taxonomy was registered.
 2. If no post ID is given, it uses
 [https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_terms/
 `get_terms()`], which does not respect the default query args.

 For the practical impact, more background, and a fix in the GB repo, see
