I like to think of it like this: If you over fetch, you throw it away at the server and not after sending it to the client. You can wrap a standard REST API and it'll still be more optimal.

We've been using REST and slowly adding hacks to stop sending so much data. We have 2x API calls that used to be 1mb each and now they're something like 5kb with GQL.
