In a place that I worked was simply the over fetching nature of RESTFul. ... Organizationally speaking, I've worked in a company that an interesting approach to federated teams: All the backend applications would have an GraphQL endpoint that would connect to a middleware where all front-end would consume the data. This allowed not only to avoid that over fetching, but different applications with different data needs could cross fetch the data via GraphQL and resolve them and display it in their own front-end. Took a lot of work to reach a level of maturity but was the best place that I've worked in terms of federated services/backends serving multiple front-ends.
