Too bad nobody thinks whether or not they need the flexibility in the first place. MVPs with single clients using GraphQL for flexibility that is not needed or used are common. GraphQL is a hammer, and now every project is a nail. Anecdotal, of course, but the first thing all FE developers I've ever worked with do when they start/join a project is add/suggest GraphQL/Apollo. Nobody considers how awful things look on the back-end when you need to cache or make magic happen to avoid thousands of N+1 queries. I believe unfortunately it has become the only way many front-end developers learn to interact with any back-end, and now everyone's forced to use it regardless of its drawbacks. Same with React. Facebook managed to get free training for all of their future hires. I hate the company but that was a genius move.
