It makes perfect sense if you consider that the reason stuff like Graphcool and GraphQL exist is because the need of decoupling the front end stack. And the need to decouple it is because it's becoming increasingly complex.

You could just spend money/time to build the machine yourself. Right?

You are not understanding the problem and therefore you are shifting the POV from an IT problem to an economic problem. M going to use a more direct "example" from my POV: Imagine if JetBrains suddenly forces you to use their own "cloud platform" to host your own applications and projects? of course the IDE it's free and you can prototype everything for free, just need to paid for what you use, they got your back as longest you paid them to.

Well nobody is forcing you to do anything. If running your tech on your own infrastructure is better for you, then by all means keep on doing that.

Yeah, vendor lock-in is a problem, but depending on the size of your operation it might make sense.

With GraphQL based solutions it's less of a problem though.
