Why? GraphQL is about modeling business domain objects in graphs [0] and querying them. Isn't that basically what Graph DB languages do too?

It is a query language for APIs, name like RestQL or JsonQL would be much more suitable.

The expressiveness of GraphQL is severely limited, it doesn't allow you to express even simple patterns like triangles, depth n, paths etc..

Exactly. GraphQL solves the same problem as REST. It is not a graph query language despite its unfortunate name.

aside from google search results for GQL :)

I think linking to dgraph may actually support "has nothing to do with". DGraph's query language was inspired by graphql but it also explicitly diverged from it in order to make a more suitable db language.
