I have worked in a Maps company - with the core business model being literally - building maps and adding traffic services. The sort of thing that's provided as the Graph 101 example.

I can assure you, nobody used any Graph database to achieve any of it.

With all due respect I don't know what to make out of absolutist, generalised statements such as this one.

GP made a statement about the entirety of the team that they were familiar with. It's the same way that I can tell you with decent certainty that nobody's using MongoDB at my place since `kubectl get pods -A | grep -c mongo` prints 0.

EDIT: Okay, joke's on me there. It turns out the automated frontend tests use a Mongo for some reason. :)

It was more of an observation by looking at most production systems, reading tons of docs, talking to a LOT of people who built the legacy - the stuff that's on your phone and in your car right now - and building a few modern systems over the course of ~2 years.

So a bit more than `kubectl get pods -A` :)
