Couple things to remember OData and HATEOS are built on REST and support a lot of what people want from GraphQL - also GraphQL is not free, you still usually have limits to what queries you support and such.
You can design rest with a single endpoint that uses the URL for everything etc. If you really want.
Not saying GQL is bad or anything, it just really isn't the silver bullet a lot of people feel it is.
