This allows the GET to bypass the 4k URL limit.
It's not a common pattern, and QUERY is a nice way to differentiate it (and, I suspect will be more compatible with Middleware).
I have a suspicion that quite a few servers support this pattern (as does my own) but not many programmers are aware of it, so it's very infrequently used.
"Your GraphQL HTTP server must handle the HTTP POST method for query and mutation operations, and may also accept the GET method for query operations."
Supporting body in the get request was an odd requirement for something I had to code up with another engineer.

It is meant to be a much better alternative to Javascript while dealing with the fact that the underlying engines use and existing programmers were used to Javascript.

At some level it's unfair to say we should just "have self control" when you have entire academic institutions and entire industries figuring out how to get you to "crack" and make a bad decision that favors their pocket book.
So yeah - I agree - we need more self control - but it's being purposefully assaulted every second of our day by EVERYTHING.
I have similar problems when I dated someone across the bridge.
They also lose a ton of money leaving SF at prime time / etc.
