Wasn't the whole point of GraphQL in mitigating this?

Yeah, that's why you have only 100 requests* when you hover over an item instead of 800.

(* allegedly, didn't verify it myself)

No.

Here is the thing, hypermedia is cacheable. React/Graphql not so much.

Facebook is now just an application that runs in the browser.

As a poor, small developer who doesn't want to hemorrhage money, I tend to want things to be more hypermedia and less app. It saves on complexity and bandwidth and costs.
