SQL has effectively failed, as a standard, despite it's ubiquity. It's literally being aged out, which makes for opportunities for PRQL, etc to fill pragmatic gaps.

eg the lack of default column aliasing from joins

    SELECT 
        A.id AS A__id, 
        A.name AS A__name, 
        B.id AS B__id, 
        B.name AS B__name 
    FROM A 
    LEFT JOIN B 
        ON A.other_id = B.other_id

When you could have:

    SELECT 
        A.*, 
        B.* 
    FORMAT (TABLE__) 
    FROM A 
    LEFT JOIN B 
        ON A.other_id = B.other_id
