If you can guarantee that you get the same result for the same projection (a query and or rest call also could be characterized as a projection) then I don't see an issue.

LOTS of rest services are just urls params -> sql -> result set -> json

Isn't this what graphql was supposed to offer?

that's what i'm missing here... it sounds like OP is just saying "What if instead of graphql we used some other thing that did exactly what graphql does?"
