    Apparently, it is not only my oberservation, but the article says similarly:

    The inconsistent approach to backward compatibility in decades past may also have played a part.

    However, I’m not a db admin and my perspective might be biased (infosec).

      I don’t know what they’re talking about there, but that might just be ignorance on my part, because I’m not a database administrator. For the basic use cases, SQL hasn’t changed in decades. For simple applications you could even change from MSSQL to MariaDB to postgres and make only minor changes.
