I very much appreciate the author's approach, and giving a sober perspective on GraphQL. Working within the Shopify ecosystem, they have invested heavily in GraphQL and I don't like the UX, nor do I find the reasoning to promote it over REST particularly convincing. It has been much more difficult to grok GraphQL over REST and I don't think I'm alone.
There are likely specific use cases where GraphQL > REST but the barrier to entry is so much higher that I think you'll continue to see the interest wane[1] unless something dramatic changes
