Maybe it's both? and maybe there will always be hard-to-express queries in SQL, and that's ok? the RDBMS's relational model is certainly a graph and joins accordingly introduce complexity. For me, just as creators of the internet regret that subdomains come before domains, I really we could go back in time and have `FROM` be the first predicate and not `SELECT`. This is much more intuitive and lends itself to the idea of a pipeline: a table scan (FROM) that is piped to a projection (SELECT).
