I can't say I see the point of this, unless you have a criminally unresponsive backend dev team.
Any half-decent backend API will offer parameters to limit the response of an endpoint, from basic pagination to filtering what info is returned per unit. What's the use of extra complexity of a "BFF" if those calls can be crafted on the fly.
And to be clear, I am not suggesting that custom endpoint be crafted for every call that gets made, that just seem like a strawman the article is positing; but rather that calls specify when info they need.
