In my experience, the vast majority of graphs can be embedded in relational databases just fine and most people don't want general graph querying. People just don't like optimizing queries (or equivalently the schema to enable such queries).
I personally have never seen a pitch for graph databases that makes them seem attractive for more than data exploration on your local machine.
