"Database-agnostic" is a pervasive and pernicious lie. It almost always means "lowest common denominator amongst all supported databases". Some databases are so far behind, they really shouldn't be abstracted by the same library. They have VERY different use cases and abilities. The access model for a SQLite-based app is quite different from a Postgres-based app. It's like having an F-150, a Cybertruck, and a Prius while hiring a driver that won't take either off-road or for more than 100 miles at a time because he also has to be able to drive a Nissan Leaf the exact same way. But folks still hire him because he claims to handle anything with a steering wheel and pedals. Technically true, but misses the point of the different options. That's an ORM.
