If you’re going to abandon REST design principles, then you’ll eventually end up with something that pretty much does what GraphQL does. At that stage why not just adopt a more fit-for-purpose set of design principles? Keep in mind that I’m only really advocating for it as a query language for HTTP APIs (which as a side benefit has some nice existing tooling which you may or may not find useful).
