I remember when GraphQL came out way back in 2012, and I really did think that we'd see fewer REST APIs. To this day, I've never seen one, inherited one, or met someone who uses them in production. I'm sure HN has some happy GraphQL users, and there are some big companies outside Facebook that use it, but it must still be a tiny fraction of all APIs at this point. Tooling and caching are certainly still a lot simpler with REST APIs, and the vast majority of projects just don't need the extra efficiency.
