They have other bigger problems, they are still trapped in Stone Age with XML everwhere (like SOAP), and not nice XML but very obscure usage and memory dumps inside of XML and what not - very ugly mess, often on purpose to keep their formats hard to implement in competitive products.
Facebook has a lot of things called the "Open Graph" [1]; most of which pre-date GraphQL. Some aren't even APIs as such.
