Sure, but that's only one advantage of GraphQl. Personally, I'd use GraphQl even for the smallest of apps. With statically generated sites, you can forgo a back-end server and just setup a GraphQl instance. It's a one-time cost to learn, and then you easily setup your APIs and if you are using React/Vuejs, it's even easier to integrate with your API.
