The real problem is not that "it is good enough"; it's that SQL is still better than many of the newer proposals.

I mean, sure, if newcomer tech $BAR was slightly better than existing tech $FOO, then maybe $FOO might be eventually replaced. What we are seeing is that the newcomers are simply not better than the existing $FOO.
