Two points:

a) Writing a schema parser is not rocket science. In fact, for a good programmer implementing their own GraphQL library would be quicker than integrating some third-party library. So your first point ("average Python programmer would do it quicker than even a top-tier C++ programmer") is absolutely wrong.

b) There's no value in an MVP that does something generic that is already available in off-the-shelf libraries. Your GraphQL example is pretty pointless because it doesn't actually do anything.

Well, no. By the end of the week they'll still be arguing about which package manager to use, whether TDD is a good idea, what makes a microservice 'micro' and how to configure Kubernetes.
