Agreed. The name NoSQL succeeded because it was concise and attention grabbing but the main goal wasn’t about eliminating SQL.
A big part was document oriented databases like CouchDB and MongoDB made more sense for a lot of web based use cases, where in the end you’re serving a page of content. Building a relational model often little sense for the web and makes managing the content harder; that a lot of websites can be built with a static site generator highlights that.
