I can't count the number of services or things I've had to use which invent their own query language instead of using SQL. In every case the language is empirically worse than SQL, especially when it's some mangled hybrid to make things "easier" coughNRQLcough. The silliest part is, if we all just fucking used SQL the tooling and integration would be much fucking easier and/or free. Not to mention, in almost no organization will you have the time or resources to not make something that's a half-implemented, poorly spec'd, rubbish version of SQL.
I think the biggest problem with SQL is that folks feel like they don't need to know it or that it's not useful. Oh dear beebs, it's fucking useful. Next time I personally need to build a rich query interface, I'm just using row level security and opening up Postgres.
