Stored procedures often offer a better and more efficient way to implement data validation than non database native alternatives.

It may indeed be efficient.
Maybe I just don't like the idea of putting all my application logic into SQL statements.
What I like about Django's ORM, for example, that you can declare a field to be an IP address, and this not only does the validation (which SQL can do easily, I am sure), but this declaration also carries over to HTML forms, admin interface, REST API serialization and HTML Templates.
