Databases tend to be "stickier" than other parts of any large software system. Largely because database migrations are costly. You can't just tear down an old database and rebuild a new one, you have to figure out how to move all that data across too.
The consequence is that things in database-land tends to move slower than other types of software. This I think is the major reason why we still use SQL.
