Not only that, but imagine wanting to move to a different database that doesn't have this features. Anyway, is sql a programming language?

I have never seen a company moving to another database. This is something that just does not happen.

From my mobile experience there is Parse who burned its developers 2 years ago. My personal app is still not working because i could not replicate in Firebase the query based on location coordinates. Since then i learned to use clean code and the database is switchable whenever i wish. I do have one right now where an iOS, Mac and command line app use the same codebase but different databases.
Of course, if you have something highly important no need to worry about this and better to implement how is more efficient.
