> I don't understand the run for GraphQL everywhere, does everybody query sparse and deep nested data on their website?

Exactly. Forced to use GraphQL at work for an internal-only API and what a nightmare - what would be a nice, one-line REST API query can take hundreds of lines (not exaggerating).

If you're serving a public-facing API at massive scale, yes, GraphQL will save you bandwidth. If not, what a pain in the *. For most engineers it's a solution in search of a problem.
