What I see wrong with GraphQL is that it makes the frontend lazier about thinking about what exactly it needs from the server. I'm talking about recurring queries. When you often need to update a tiny part of the UI, with GraphQL, it's much easier just to query the whole state again. Because you just reuse the same query, and also "just in case." It's not a tech issue, but how people tend to design an app with the technology.
