What libraries does this require? I'm just issuing fetch requests and getting back JSON. Apollo is absolutely NOT EVEN CLOSE TO required to do GQL...
Honestly, both GraphQL and everything else listed seems pretty orthogonal to the original discussion of frameworks... Whether you used VanillaJS or React or a server-rendering platform, your choices of internationalization & datastores & auth & functionality require code...
There are several GraphQL libraries supporting different features, of different sizes.

And some of them are tiny, which is antithetical to your previous point...
Do client side rendering of HTML and you’ll need libraries, just like you do on the backend.
The client being the browser? Isn't HTML rendering what it does? What kind of HTML rendering are you talking about?
The browser renders a webpage using the rendered HTML, CSS and sometimes Javascript.
