Probably so: I can't agree with that particular inference.

1. Very often we need generated SQL because writing SQL for primitive CRUD operations is hell tedious and error-prone (as well as writing UI forms connected to these CRUD endpoints, so I prefer to generate them too).

2. Structured Query Language being very poorly structured is indeed a huge resource drain when developing and maintaining complex queries. PRQL and the like try to address this, but that's an entirely different level of abstraction.

3. Unfortunately, when efficiency matters we have to resort to writing hand-optimized SQL. And this usually happens exactly when we terribly need a well-composing query language.
