Hot take: a lot of usage of GraphQL is terrible and most apps don't need it. For example, I worked at a place where it was a requirement that everything runs through GraphQL. Sure, fine, except then you see that they were making tailor-made resolvers for particular use cases. You wouldn't see multiple different apps or sections of the app pulling from the same endpoint but with trimmed down queries. It was essentially BFF but with a GraphQL middleware because "it's what big companies do." I've had a number of friends say they've seen the same thing. I'm sure when you're working with applications like Facebook and you're using it intelligently, it's great. My experience is that many people don't understand that.
