Comment (by johnjamesjacoby):

 I like this. It minimizes the risk of interacting with the `$wpdb` global
 object directly.

 I've been including methods in classes to do something similar for a
 while, so a central wrapper in WordPress core would prevent me from
 redefining those methods for each class that interacts with it.
