The author seems to conflate sql with single node classical rdbms'. The query language side of things hasn't changed much but coming from automotive which is currently generating daily terabytes of long and flat data in the form of time series streams with very little relational characteristics nosql systems are very useful. I think there is a tendency to go after old relational systems because of how they handled themselves with the data that was generated mostly by users. At this point my industry is dealing with data generated by machines and nature and thus the need for extremely scalable and distributed systems. Whether these systems use sql i don't think is that important ( most of them will support sql or sql like )
