It's not odd at all. If you have existing datastore(s) and APIs, and you try to add GraphQL on top of it. You're trying to retrofit it.

GraphQL doesn't magically just tie into a datastore and allow you to query it.

In most cases, adding GraphQL just add's another layer of complexity and doesn't solve any existing problem for people.

I'm not saying GraphQL is bad. It's just massively miss/over used now.
