Modern RDBMS's can now address "graph"-like schemata and use cases via recursive queries, which are part of the SQL standard. No need for a separate abstraction on top of it, much less for "processing of data at the abstraction layer".

I'm guessing the abstraction has now been internalized. Unless the representation and operations underneath have been customized, and provide the same transaction guarantees and parsimony that a native graph database would for graph operations.
