session.query(Object).from_statement("SELECT * ...")

Sure, and shooting yourself in the foot is also possible by pointing the gun down at the floor ... doesn't mean it is a good idea.

Generally the same statement can be built using internal SQLAlchemy...

But if you want to do your own, you can in sqlalchemy while still being as safe:

But it's possible and people do it. Which is, I believe the point was, the counterpoint to "SQLi should be impossible".

Sure, One can avoid shooting themselves in the foot with an ORM. But that's also true in SQL.
