In the same way that because Linked List libraries were invented 50 years ago, there is no requirement to learn what linked lists are for most of the applications built today? You aren't getting past the requirement to learn relational databases "because ORM", and there is no material or course that teaches relational databases without teaching SQL. The unfortunate result of this is that people who boast about knowing $ORM while not knowing SQL have never learned relational databases either.
