Why not use GraphQL?

GraphQL, as a technology, is not inherently superior to REST APIs in all cases. While it offers benefits such as improved performance and payload size, better error handling, and built-in documentation, these advantages depend on the specific use case and implementation. GraphQL's strength lies in its ecosystem of tools and services that have emerged around it, which enable developers to build powerful and scalable APIs. However, REST APIs still excel in certain areas, such as internal APIs, partner APIs, and server-to-server communication, where GraphQL does not offer significant benefits. Ultimately, the choice between GraphQL and REST depends on the specific needs of the project, and a nuanced understanding of each technology's strengths and weaknesses is necessary to make an informed decision.
