The main advantage of an ORM isn’t query building but its deep integration with the rest of the ecosystem.

In Django, you can change a single field in a model, and that update automatically cascades through to database migrations, validations, admin panels, and even user-facing forms in the HTML.

I'd have to try this for myself before judging it. Apple's CoreData tried and miserably failed to do this, and I wasn't fond of the Laravel ORM either, but Django is probably a better example than those.
