I think graphQL as a byproduct of some serious shenanigans.

"Your GraphQL HTTP server must handle the HTTP POST method for query and mutation operations, and may also accept the GET method for query operations."

Supporting body in the get request was an odd requirement for something I had to code up with another engineer.

And the whole GET/POST difference matters for GraphQL at scale: we saved a truckload of money by switching our main GraphQL gateway requests to GET wherever possible.
