No, SQL is great for relational data. There's like decades of research into it. It's the best.
relational databases have years of reseach into them, not the query language itself.
sql was built so people other than devs can use it, but we got stuck with it.
Not really. Being designed with UX in mind, so that it sacrifices conciseness for readability, does not make it something for "people other than devs".
Likewise, BASIC was also developed with UX in mind, and no one in their right mind would ever claim that it's not a programming language.
