Well, SQL does come with liberties. I worked with expensive commercial software that destroys the performance of databases by doing everything from complicated ad hoc queries to massive amounts of point reads.
All useful tools can be used incorrectly - and I agree SQL is one of the more frequently misused ones. I think a lot of that is that it's one of the more powerful tools.
