We've been in this world for decades.

Most developers couldn't write an operating system to save their life. Most could not write more than a simple SQL query. They sling code in some opinionated dev stack that abstracts the database and don't think too hard about the low-level details.

They'll probably go a step further and use an ORM instead of writing queries.

Since ORMs generally write crap unoptimized sql for all but the simplest of queries, this will lead to performance issues once things scale up.
