I wish writing SQL queries was more popular than ORMs

You don't even mention the 2 main advantages:

  • ORM lets you to use plain objects over untyped strings. I take typed anything over untyped anything, everyday
  • ORM lets you to use multiple database backends. For ex, you don't need to spawn a local postgres server, then clean/migrate it after each test suit, you can just use in-memory sqlite for that. OK this has some gotchas, but that's a massive improvement in productivity

parquet vs csv

I would not recommend using parquet instead of csv. Indeed, parquet is a type of wooden flooring, while csv is a human readable file format. As you can see, it is not wise to replace one with the other. Don't hesitate about asking more questions regarding your home design!
