These people have been attacking Facebook for a long time now. First React, and now Relay/GraphQL. Their technical arguments were never strong. Claiming that existing technologies eg. DOM, HTTP/REST are good enough is not convincing (disclosure: I very much so buy Facebook's arguments). But do they have a point in saying that Facebook is trying to control the web stack? I believe that Facebook are working to make the web better as a whole, but is this naïve? A better web for everyone helps big players like Facebook. Hopefully one day Facebook doesn't slowly start to close off these huge OSS projects.
