You are correct by their design. But by usage I've found that to be by far the most valuable thing that ORMs deliver. Making use of ORMs to power an ActiveRecord system in your codebase has only ever, to my observation, lead to pain. Querybuilders that are equipped with more advanced functionality around type security and response decoding are quite a valuable tool.
