That's what you get for GraphQL not having an algebra.

If it had an algebra you could build a database engine that answers GraphQL queries like a conventional database engine or you could write a general purpose schema mapping and some tool would write the code that converts GraphQL queries to SQL queries or some other language.

As it is, GraphQL provides a grammar that looks like something people want to believe in but behind it all is a whole lot of nothing.
