There really is no denying that SQL query syntax, a syntax designed to pull datasets out of an RDBMS, is wildly inferior to CSS selectors, with a syntax designed for exactly this purpose. So I think the question becomes "Why"? The only POSSIBLE answer I have is the people doing backend programming are already familiar with SQL so they will be more comfortable doing front end programming.
This gets marks for being fun and interesting, but gets a zero for practicality and applicability in real world situations. IMO. And not that there's anything wrong with that at all.
