Presumably the target audience is people who already frequently use JQ and don't want to juggle different query languages when dealing with different data sources?

Developer here.

That was exactly the target audience.

Note that sq doesn't just handle relational DBs, it also has (varying quality) support for CSV, JSON, Excel, and so on. At the time (2013) I wasn't aware of a convenient one-liner mechanism for munging all of those together from the command line.
