I think the best analogy would be SQL is to OpenGL what this API would be to Vulkan.
Ability to define the query procedurally or atleast semi-so vs the declarative approach of SQL would allow direct optimisation of very performance critical queries.

We have people who can't be bothered to close database transactions (see that Uber report). I wouldn't trust then to choose the optimal join strategy in a complex query.
