GraphQL API Explorer wants this permission:

Public and private This application will be able to read and write all public and private repository data. This includes the following:

Code Issues Pull requests Wikis Settings Webhooks and services Deploy keys

Why'O whyai?

Because GitHub's GraphQL API will let you do all of those things via the GraphQL API Explorer ;-)

I think it's because you can use the GraphQL mutations to do things like create comments, etc.

You don't trust GitHub with access to your GitHub repositories?
