There’s nothing free. Requesting “any view for any potential client” will most likely cripple your backend because you can’t optimise ad-hoc queries.

So in the presumably rare case that this happens can one not just add a new view, map it in the GraphQL schema and still come out far ahead on development time? I just feel like a huge number of people are going to accept lower complexity in the short term with some optimisation to do later. That seems like an fairly sensible and defensible tradeoff. I’ll admit I’m not picturing public APIs though.
