REST itself is such an amorphous term nowadays that it's tough to even measure/define this. It seems to now mean basically any multi-endpoint based JSON API.

GraphQL is trendy and might take over "REST" for startups soon if it hasn't already. But in real-world adoption in established companies and dev teams I'm not sure that it ever will. REST / typical JSON APIs are so prevalent because they are fully backend agnostic and so darn easy to write (Note: not easy to write well). GraphQL has some architecture and typed overhead to learn prior to spinning up an endpoint and the underlying logic to stitch together the data. With REST, it's just HTTP call, backend processes call, return JSON, done.
