In theory, yes, but in the case of GraphQL, I found it was very difficult to generate schemas dynamically. Factoring out common fields was not possible. Common fields in schemas had to be duplicated and there was no concept of an include/mixin/extends/etc. Best technique was generating plaintext strings of GraphQL programmatically (losing any editor or type checking support). Dropping down to the AST layer of GraphQL is a bit more programmatic but not really an ideal level of abstraction to work at. It was too verbose and low level. REST integrates well with native JS constructs (it's just data) so it's much easier to compose and use metaprogramming techniques.
