Amen.
We probably disagree on if we need less abstraction or better abstraction though.
For all the griping that git gets I really think it could be much worse. It's a somewhat inelegant shrink-wrap over its data structures but at least I can get at all the pieces I need.
I get that SQL works well for ad-hoc analysis and business cases, and a query planner is super useful there, but for service to service calls I'd love a language that let's me refer to the tables, the b-trees, row-ids, and lets me tell it what to do.
