Summary
I've been thinking about this for quite a while but it's time that this default is switched up, most GraphQL clients force you in this paradigm of always leveraging POST which misses out on a lot of benefits. The settings to actually do it the "right way" HTTP semantically is hidden behind an option.
The downside is that some servers might not support GET, however they are still free to turn this off. I prefer the explicit having to turn it off from having a degraded default experience.
The default should still be persisted operations but at least we take a step forward HTTP semantically wise.
