LookML does seem to have invested a lot in compilation to different SQL backends, generally using the best syntax for each.
Unfortunately the frontend is so tightly tied to the Looker BI stuff, and it can't really express arbitrary queries without going through lots of hassle.
Its unclear what Google is doing with Looker. Its would be interesting to imagine what LookML would be like as an independent SQL tool chain.
