I couldn't agree more with this.
I'm trying to get a small library [1] I wrote popular and it's insane how much resistance I get because it doesn't fit the "mainstream religion" of using GraphQL.
People are brainwashed to think API = REST or GraphQL. How many times did I see a RESTful (or even worse GraphQL) for an internal API where RPC would be so so much simpler... (GraphQL is great for third parties but sh*t for internal stuff.)
