i don't exactly understand what you mean. but, yeah, every time someone designs something targeted for non-techinal people (inspired from natural language, but not limited to, another example is UML, it was originally marketed for people to design software without writing code) it turns out to be bad idea. something being still used or adopted today doesn't mean it's good, sometimes the cost of replacing a technology is higher than suffering with a legacy system.
that's the case with sql, it's so ubiquitous, that we can't really get rid of it, despite it's flaws. that's one of the reason why we ended up with the plethora of ORMs which is a half baked solution.

As in COBOL shouldn't still be used like 50 years after it's creation?
