Probably for one of the reasons graphql was created in the first place - accomplish a set of fairly complex operations using one rather than a multitude of API calls. The set can be "everything" or it can be "this well-defined subset".

You could be right, but that's really just "Our API makes multiple calls to itself in the background"

I could be wrong but I thought GraphQL's point of difference from a blind proxy was that it was flexible.
