My primary motivation is for smoother development. Both the editors I use have good SQL modes that do more than just highlighting - they take care of schema exploration, autocomplete, indentation, memorising bind parameters, previewing results, etc. I want to use them to develop a SQL query as a separate entity, check it, and then wire it into the app later. (I also like keeping the file separate so that down the line I can easily do things like add "EXPLAIN" as the first line, and see what the query plan is.)
Syntax highlighting is a nice to have. And I've looked in that direction<https://github.com/krisajenkins/vim-java-sql> in earlier explorations <https://github.com/krisajenkins/vim-clojure-sql> of the problem. For my money it's left wanting. It's better to make both languages first class citizens. There's no getting away from the fact that they're separate languages which are strong in their own domains, and are just begging for a cleaner connection point.
