Times have changed. If you have C# programmers and they can't do it in Entity Framework/LINQ, then they can't do it.

This seems like a stereotype from 2010s and disconnected from reality today.
Nope. None of my below 30 colleagues know SQL. They use ORM in REPL or visual tools.
LINQPad is awesome and EF Core is just this good so I can see why some would just choose not to deal with SQL.
With that said, this still sounds like a strange situation - most colleagues, acquaintances and people I consulted know they way around SQL and dropping down to 'dbset.FromSql($"SELECT {...' is very commonplace out of the need to use sprocs, views or have tighter control over the query.
