I read somewhere that they're trying to add realtime support to GraphQL, but the problem which GraphQL solves is only an issue if you use HTTP as a transport.

If you use a pub/sub realtime layer on the frontend, you don't need all the complexity which GraphQL introduces - You can make each component bind itself to a pub/sub channel which publishes changes to the resource which that component is interested in. It's a lot simpler and more direct.
