The consensus of NoSQL these days is Not only SQL. Nobody is disagreeing that SQL (and the underlying relational algebra) is expressive and general.
For a lot applications/use cases, schema free get/put/delete is a lot more concise than any SQL concoctions. Besides, using RDBMS/SQL to store/retrieve complex graph is neither beautiful or concise.
Just because you can use your Swiss army knife to kill a few roaches doesn't mean you should.
