Personally I see GraphQL mostly as a replacement for HATEOAS and all that stuff. It has a spec, so there is absolutely no debate as to how to do things, whether one should use PUT/POST or PATCH or whatever, where to put hyperlinks, what format to use, all of that is a waste of time and I hate being told that I'm doing REST wrong. There is no "doing GraphQL wrong", or your GraphQL parser is broken. It doesn't solve anything else. Sure, one could use SQL instead, why not?
