I can't speak for any of these other technologies, but no part of the GraphQL spec requires GET requests to have bodies. The spec is clear about how to use query strings instead.

As I have noted elsewhere here in this thread, spec saying one thing has nothing to do with how many libraries implement something. If the libraries are critical and provide value, then no matter how much you scream for your adherence to the spec, people will use it and depend on it.

The QUERY method is a step in the right direction but it came too late.
