We may have differences in how we define "abstract". Views and SPs encapsulate, but they don't change the difficulty of parameterizing on table name or column name within SQL, for example. No spread operator to say "select the columns from thing X that are going to be inserted into thing Y". There are so many different ways to abstract aspects for different goals.
