I'm starting to understand what you mean.

You are right - GraphQL, even though it has the word "graph" in it, is pretty weak at complex graph traversal. Actually, I don't think it was made for complex graph traversal in mind.

https://docs.dgraph.io/master/query-language/ uses graphql, but they really modified the language to make it work for complex graph traversal, to a point where the simplicity of it is gone.
