Isn't the root issue, that relational model is superior for the job. And everyone was using it since codd wrote this famous paper in 1970? (I'm not that old btw^^) And if you would read only the first two pages, you would see that ORM (and also NO-SQL) has some of the problems he describes in systems used prior!! to 1970!! I think 90% of users must not understand the relational model, because it's impossible, that the other models are the right tool for the job so often.
