We're not opposed to GraphQL at all. We use PostgREST because it's very low-level. It's a thin wrapper around Postgres. It uses Row Level Security, works nicely with Stored Procedures, and postgres extensions (like PostGIS).
Philosophically we want to focus more on the database-centric solutions, rather than than middleware-centric solutions. This means a slower time-to-market, but it's beneficial because you have a "source" right at the bottom of your stack, and you can connect whatever tools you want to it (including Hasura!)
