Should cache updates be broadcast to readquery?

[rossm6]

I have a component which includes this line -

const profileData = client.readQuery({ query: GET_USER_PROFILE });

The component is not re-rendered though when the parent container does update the cache with the query result.

If I replace this line with the following though it works -

const { data } = useQuery(GET_USER_PROFILE, { fetchPolicy: 'cache-only', nextFetchPolicy: 'cache-only' });

Shouldn't cache updates be broadcast to readQuery as well?

Right now client.readQuery is just a wrapper for cache.readQuery, which is not reactive like cache.watchQuery, so client.readQuery is also not reactive. Behind the scenes, useQuery uses client.watchQuery, which uses cache.watchQuery, so that's why useQuery is reactive.

Thanks for the clarification.
