Worth a direct correction before anything else: `-EnableContentTypes` doesn’t control list experience at all — it toggles whether a list supports multiple content types, an entirely unrelated setting.

An apostrophe in a data value — a name like O’Reilly, a title like Harry’s Adventures — breaks a SharePoint REST `$filter` query, because OData uses single quotes as the string delimiter and has no way to tell a literal apostrophe apart from the end of the string.

PnP (Patterns and Practices) is the umbrella for several separate tools that speed up SharePoint Framework development — PnPjs for calling SharePoint from code, PnP PowerShell for admin/automation tasks, and a library of reusable React controls for SPFx web parts. This post covers what each actually does, where the real limitations are, and two places
Creating many list items in one call means the same SharePoint REST `$batch` endpoint covered from the PnPjs side in SharePoint Data Handling with PnP Batching Queries — worth reading there for the wire-format details and the real 100-request cap, both of which apply here too.
