I recently shared a similar rationale for why a custom query language can help users even in the age of LLMs.

Users can't "own" queries they don't understand. An LLM helping a user avoid annoying syntax errors is very useful; but helping a user write a query they ultimately cannot understand is fraught with the problems you describe.

This was a very enjoyable read! Constraining the language surface is helpful, but the lost expressiveness can bite unless you’re in a constrained domain - which this seems like it was!
