So I guess people use this cause they don't want to spend some time learning SQL...

  That's exactly backwards. People who don't want to learn SQL tend to write CRUD API and rely on code-first ORMs to manage the database. When you instead use PostgREST, or Hasura, you're usually going to write a ton of SQL - tables instead of classes, views and stored procedures instead of interfaces, row-level security rules instead of authorization code.

    A “ton” is very relative. Those tables still have to be written even with ORM. And as for views/rls/triggers the total LOC i would say is orders of magnitude smaller then in traditional stacks and a lot more readable (it’s static definitions vs imperative code)
