I don't think REST is well understood. Who does really understand the richardson maturity model? Who understands HATEOS? REST is a set of constraints. The implementation is up to the user. There's no requirement to document, it's optional. You can have an Open Api Specification, you're not forced to do so. GraphQL on the other hand is a lot more specific. It makes a lot of decisions for you. It's less flexible in that way but this also makes it easier to use.
