What's the purpose of throwing GraphQL in front of a single API? I always thought of it as an API Gateway of sorts which fits better in a microservice type architecture and aggregates requests across multiple microservices. At least that's how I have seen it used. What is the need for GraphQL in the WordPress scenario?

Presumably its still useful as a standard mechanism for response field selection and preventing n+1 queries when trying to join data across multiple types of entities.
