I would argue that conceptually it's not too different from needing to know what tables/columns exist in datamodel. I get that it is not common now to care about FKs when writing selects. But it could be. Tooling can be improved to help here. (show fks, autocomplete) Btw. Everybody seems to concentrate on conciseness, but keep in mind that this helps also with query correctness.
