They dumb the database down to a storage system. If that's what you want, fine. But as soon as you use more than simple hierarchical retrievals, you need ERM and SQL. Then it becomes easier to use a normal sql database and flatten out the object model. Also, quite often the end user isn't really interested in theobject per se, but in certain properties (name, weight, etc.). With ERM you won't have to go through the object but can retrieve the desired results right away.

Lots of Greetings!
