Site lists and drives
When enumerating a site's lists and drives, the Graph API hides system objects by default.
Check which site lists are returned for my root site in the developer tenant.

System-managed lists and drives
To also enumerate system objects, specify the system property in the $select query parameter.
See the difference in the number of returned lists when the system property is specified in the $select query parameter.

There are a lot of system-managed lists like SiteAssets or TaxonomyHiddenList. Of course, you can use the id of the system list to get the details by calling the endpoint /sites/{site_id}/lists/{list_id}.
