Are there still SQL-only developers in 2024?

Yes. Many of them. A lot of them are retiring now, but I know plenty of younger DBAs coming in without any other programming experience and in many cases, no desire to learn.

Do they count as developers if they only write SQL?

I don't know about "many", but there are some.

Somewhat unrelated but is SQLTools still the best plugin for SQL in VSCode. Wish there was something better.

The best SQL extension I could find for MySQL and PostgreSQL is Database Client.
