Even worse is when a third party is doing it and i have no say over what they do with it.

To your last point, there are a few ways you can provide feedback on or limit the cost of your queries. I'd recommend checking out Github's article on resource limitation [0] and the section on query cost analysis in an article by the Apollo team [1].
