Exaaaactly. I worked on big systems at a very large retailer, and at a very large bank, and in each case, there were reasons why GraphQL worked very well for us. But 90+% of developers across the world adopt tools and technologies because they look fun and shiny, not because they need it. For the overwhelming majority of developers (who in most cases are working at medium-to-large-sized companies on internally-facing apps with a small number of users) a simple web app stack from 2005 will serve you quite nicely.
