Locally, yes. But that’s not a big deal unless your network is that saturated. Also, with wrapping we’re just talking first steps. Anyway the overfetching thing is less about bandwidth and more about maintaining compatibility with older clients and knowing which clients require which fields. Since each GraphQL client explicitly states the fields it needs, it’s much easier to retire old fields.
