Aren't you just moving the client to the backend here? As I understand it we are talking about how whoever needs to render the data gets the data. GraphQL vs. REST vs. whatever is still as relevant in the backend-rendered case.

Yes, exactly true if you see it from that angle.

From your angle, I guess one other alternative to GraphQL and REST would be RPC. ;)

It absolutely is. It is in fact, one of my preferred ways to design systems when doing it in tight coupling between backend and frontend. Such as in a micro-fronted-style vertical. It’s very effective when the needs of the frontend dictate the needs of the backend.
