SQL itself doesn't generate any value, relational databases generate value. SQL is just a frontend for them. Anyway, your snark could be applied to _literally any change_. Are you angry that cars are replacing horses? "Horses generate such incomparable value that there's a steady supply of pro-car posts, like fumes from the vast ocean of their constantly boiling piss". Don't like the cotton gin? "Slave labor generates such incomparable value...". There's not really anything of substance in this kind of comment.
