GraphQL has no demands on your data model. You can do whatever you want behind the schema you provide to client apps

I think you should read it directly from the website: "GraphQL is a query language for your API, and a server-side runtime for executing queries by using a type system you define for your data." You need a type system to bypass the datamodel. Just pushing the issue around.
