SQL expresses relational algebra [0] which is the language defining data relationships and manipulation. It hasn't changed in 50 years for the same reason why B-Trees and sorting algorithms haven't: it's foundational to computer science.
Database-specific "SQL extensions" are in my experience just administration commands, e.g. `VACUUM` or `CREATE EXTENSION` in Postgres. They help operate the DB, but have little to do with the actual data manipulation.
Killing SQL is like trying to kill computer science: you better come up with something better than a synonym.
