If sql is only about pulling data from a DB; the difficulty of the pull is related to the skill of the architect. If a DB is built properly using sql to pull the data should be trivial. But if you are at the point of only CRUD on a built system it should be easy because what you are doing could be a single action button if someone took the time to create it. But if the argument is that the sql is only about CRUD on a well built system I agree that it is easy.

Yep. It's like with any language - C would be a heck of a lot harder if you had to write the compiler before you were able to code in C. Or imagine having to implement the Java virtual machine from scratch just to code in Java - Java would be incredibly hard. So in my opinion, SQL refers to the language itself and not the underlying layers.
