You can make a REST endpoint match a client's needs, but if you have multiple clients (for example, 1 for mobile and 1 for desktop) that all need different amounts of data (for example, the mobile client shows a simplified view with less data), then you would need to write 2 different REST endpoints to handle each clients. Multiply that by the number of pages with a difference.

Or you use Accept header for its intended purpose Accept: com.company.user-aggregated/json Accept: com.company.user-aggregated-lite/json etc. And let the server return the fields defined by the relevant schemas. I mean, the advise given for GraphQL in prod is to literally call predefined queries only.
