Another con of GraphQL (and probably GRPC) is caching. You basically get it for free with REST.
REST can also return protobufs, with content type application/x-protobuf. Heck, it can return any Content-Type. It doesn't have to be confined to JSON.
GRPC needs to support the language you're using. It does support a lot of the popular languages now. But most languages have some sort of http server or client to handle REST.
