Not a good look to accuse others of AI spam because you can't immediately grasp their point. Others clarified it well.

ORM has substantial utility beyond just abstracting across different backends (I personally think that is one of the worst reasons to use an ORM, migrating or joining across entire production database systems is not something you ever take lightly).

FWIW this attitude reminds me of devs who insist Haskell or Emacs whatever is the one true technology that can do everything. Hard to work with. They build ivory towers, complicated systems that only the author can enter.

SQL is great but has its limits. Same for ORMs. Sweet spot is in the gray zone.
