I don't have a lot of GraphQL experience but I think there are some core issues with using SQL.

Single resultset responses might not be ideal. Multi result sets might be fine but I don't think its standard to SQL. (I could be wrong there though)

Transaction semantics can't be guaranteed when you're just a proxy to many services. We'd have to change SQL enough that a web SQL api for any service would be an entirely different beast anyway.
