I'm always befuddled by why the GraphQL haters have to come out of the woodwork to shit on a new project in the space, rather than just quietly saying to themselves "this isn't for me," and moving onto the next story.
From my personal experience, there's many backend developer types who resist tools or libraries that eliminate or minimize their bespoke API development. (Even when they complain about constantly making new endpoints for some frontend)
