While I agree that there are certainly places where ORMs are net negative for the developer, for a language ecosystem having one is net positive.

Lots of app developers need simple and easy to setup database access so that they can focus on the parts of their app that matters. Not having an ORM means that a decent chunk of them will move on to another language/ecosystem that has the libraries they want.
