Linq is just a useful syntax, there's nothing about data processing there. It's only good for small data sets that fit entirely in memory.

I completely disagree. SQL is just syntax too. Syntax for a language that can process data, just like linq. And Linq can also operate on IQueryable<T>, which can represent data structures too large to fit in memory. It functions just fine on infinite data structures for that matter too.
