i used to feel this way, then i started working with images and time series and a whole bunch of data that didn't seem to lend itself well to SQL. What I think actually should happen is basically everyone who fashions themselves "technical" should spend some time learning about relational databases because that framework for how data works is so incredibly powerful that you don't really need anything else. And you start seeing how it benefits you to take disparate data that may not fit the mould and conform it to a relational database.
