GraphQL or not... cargo cult explains a lot of what happens in tech.
Basically, "Google does X so my smaller company should do X too."
That's just VERY often not the case.
What do you think is the reason for this? Is it maybe something along the line "If company X uses it, and they are big, this standard / technology will for sure stay here some time"?
I think it's more like "Company X is big and we have to be like company X if we want to be big too"
A large part of it is "FANG does x y,z and I want to work at FANG. So I must so x,y,z at smaller company."
