I agree in a sense but I'm primarily a front end dev. Our backend devs (whose SQL skills are probably on par with mine) maintain the DB tables and such using our ORM but I would still need to use the ORM to query the DB. I'll hop in and make a DB update on the backend if I need to, but my point is that many front end devs are probably just using the ORM to query and run mutations. Such queries could certainly be optimized a bit by knowing a bit of SQL (adding indices to commonly queried cols for example) but I'd still consider solid knowledge in SQL to be a solely backend thing.

That said, I do know enough basic SQL to understand what ORMs are doing at a high level, but because I almost never write SQL I wouldn't consider myself proficient in it.
