What part of this made you think that you had to use it much less a beginner? Is it because it exists at all?

Hard for me to see that as a problem with the tools rather than the developer.

Check out the jobs. React + entourage is all over the place. If I'm teaching a beginner who wants to enter the job market he's going to have to learn the whole stack.

Only if the beginner wants to get into richer client-side applications, which is only part of the whole web application market. And GraphQL is rare.

There are plenty of 100% server-side jobs. Maybe you should be pointing those out to beginners instead of suggesting that they need to learn even niche tech like GraphQL before having a shot in the job market.
