That's true to an extent currently, but we actually envisioned EdgeQL to be a capable analytical query language too. We'll release EdgeDB 2.0 in a couple of weeks and it will feature a powerful GROUP BY statement (read more about it here [1]) and in 3.0 we might ship window functions (or some equivalent).
With all that said PRQL looks cool!
