Because it’s honestly quite bad and clunky by modern standards (I specifically miss composability of sub-query components, which makes every query like a throwaway effort), many people don’t enjoy learning it, and at least personally the likelihood of getting a given query right without doing lots of double checking is pretty low for advanced queries.

I do find it much easier to read/validate than to write though, which makes it an excellent application for LLM usage, in my experience.
