That's how I've personally felt since I first encountered ORMs a decade ago at a data intensive startup where ORMs were a burden. Yet I keep running into ORMs.
Luckily, they are better implemented at my current job. I still think it gets in the way quite often, but I recognize that it enables some outsized returns on effort. Entire REST APIs can be generated with things like Spring Data. SqlAlchemy can be pretty slick in Python.
I still write raw SQL on my personal projects, but I recognize that I have to spend a lot of time doing that.
