Yes, construction of raw SQL queries outside library code is a security hole. The same with writing browsers in C or C++. These bad design choices can be traced to countless security issues. The same for generating HTML using string manipulation. These are all stupid ideas, and until people realise that they're holes we will be stuck with endless security problems. And it's the coward's way out to hide behind the "sharper tools" nonsense. You don't hear chainsaw vendors wearing safety flaws as a badge of pride.
