Your comment comes across like saying "why would I use an impact driver when my screwdriver does everything I need?"
If you don't actually need those features then obviously an ORM will offer less value to you. That doesn't mean ORMs aren't useful tools, they just aren't useful for the problems you work on.
I tend to work on projects where those features are useful and if the ORM didn't provide them out of the box then I would need to build them myself. In other words using a query builder alone does not adequately solve the problems I need to solve.
