Nah it's what you get for GraphQL only being an API which people inevitably conflate with the database itself (a harmful trend that probably started with SQL databases). If you want to use GraphQL you should look for a database supporting it as an interface, or failing that look for an ORM system that supports GraphQL and whatever backend you want. Trying to convert SQL to GraphQL or GraphQL to SQL is both equally difficult and has little to do with it not having an algebra (also I think most of it is just algebraic types, possibly lacking a proper sum type). God forbid you should try to modify anything with GraphQL though, that part makes no sense whatsoever.
