Be the change you want to see, I suppose. No doubt convergence will come, but it is still early days. Six months ago, most developers didn't even know what a vector database is, let alone consider it something to add to their stack.
It took SQL well into the 1990s to fully solidify itself as "the standard" for relational querying. Even PostgreSQL itself was started under the name POSTGRES and was designed to use QUEL, only moving over to SQL much later in life when it was clear that was the way things were going. These things can take time.

IBM had SQL in their database product in 1981, Oracle had it by v4 in 1984, ANSI picked SQL as its standard that same year, and completed the first version by 1986. Some time scientists say that the 1980s occurred before "well into the 1990s" but I mean, who can really say, right?
