It tries to compile QgsExpressions to native SQL syntax.

I think the point of using OGR that it offers an awesome abstraction
layer where the consumer doesn't need to care about the backend.

As soon as ExecuteSQL is used this abstraction no longer applies and it
just adds another layer of uncertainty (different library versions...)
and may potentially hide internals of the backends which may be useful
in some cases (datatypes, backend metadata, available indexes, ...), so
the advantage is gone while it complicates advanced topics.
Or did I miss something?
