You seem to believe that evil requires a priori knowledge or intent. I think there is enough wiggle room in that word to allow otherwise. Merriam Webster offers causing harm or injury to someone which would fit the article. https:/&

TLDR: SQL databases add JSON support becoming no-sql'ey, while NoSQL databases are adding better joins, becoming more sql'ey. Hence, convergence. I'm not sold on the argument myself, but I did not keep track recently.
