GraphQL is basically well structured RPC calls. So everything you wanted to do with SOAP, with none of the headaches and really nice instrumentation and documentation thrown in as part of the protocol.

I'm usually surprised with all the comparisons to REST. It's far more practical and way less dogmatic.

I'd say that's because you should mentally substitute RPC whenever you see REST. Basically everyone talking about REST APIs mean RPC over HTTP with nouns in the endpoints.
