My experience with CRUD backends is that you get bogged down in really convoluted business logic and abstraction layers, and most of your time is neither spent writing or thinking, but debugging. (Of course debugging involves thinking, but it requires you to step around, print, inspect, and explore how data flows, rather than exclusively thinking up new solutions). And in my opinion, debugging is easier if you can faster navigate your code and more quickly type or edit small changes.
