I agree that it's taking the idea of LoB to an extreme that wasn't intended (at least not explicitly) in the essay. But I still don't see why it's a bad idea considering that SQL-level abstractions (views, procedures, etc) are available. What value does adding a layer of application-level abstraction provide? So I have to name and call a function that calls the sql; to what end?

There’s plenty of literature (and debate !) about mvc/mvt (and its numerous variants and interpretations) in the context of web apps. It’s interesting that you challenge the consensus though.
