Serious question, as I am no longer the wide-eyed mid level dev who ranhad to work with GraphQL:

What does it do that REST can't? Why was 2018 like "omg GraphQL!!!!". Ive been in CRUD land most of my career, happily there now. 

But I realised all the things I was told are the selling points of GQL, aren't really, true? In the sense that they were always sold to me as "better than REST in every way". 

I like CRUD 🤷‍♂️
