Why said method (in *Command classes) is called
ExecuteNonQuery instead of ExecuteQuery?
Aren’t those SQL statements we throw at DBs, queries?

Semantically, a query is something you execute to return data. You’re ‘querying’ the database to find all the X in the Y.
If you’re not expecting back results, it’s not so much a query as it is a statement or command.
