Obligatory reply to this: If your standard is actually “universal” in the sense that it is interoperable with all other standards, you don’t actually contribute to the problem.
No one thinks that USB2 and USB are competing standards, because you didn’t throw away all the work. a 1.1 device works fine in a 2.0 port.
If there’s a “unified graph query language” that in fact exposes all of the DB participants functionality (much like how good ORMs still let you drop down to raw SQL snippets) then you’re not actually having the infered solution
I like how they completely ignore Tinkerpop/Gremlin.
