Here is a different perspective: I like GraphQL because it helps with communicating with other developers. I have lost count of the hours I spent trying to understand a REST API or find where the docs for the REST API are... Sometimes people just add an endpoint and that's that.

With GraphQL, there is a minimum of communication that it is done by the specs and the choices of the frameworks. There are some costs and downsides but for me they are definitively worth it.
