Right but then you have to build a custom http api for each and every new view. Oh, and now you altered the view a tiny bit and need some more fields? Add yet another api. Oh, you did a redesign and you only need a tiny bit of data now? Either add another api again, or deal with the fact that you're wasting bandwidth by sending a bunch of unnecessary data.

or you can pass the fields you want in your request, and then realizing it would be simplier to fetch all your data in only one endpoint to avoid multiple roundtrips, create a giant request-parsing-data-fetching logic to respond with some kind of nested data, yeah GraphQL is useless because we can build a new one from scratch for each of our projects ;)

...at which point you reinvented the wheel and it's very likely that the GraphQL library for your language works better and maybe faster.
