I'm not sure how good the analogy is.. but i've just taken a certain course with such a "simplified" language.

(speaking about the SQL here, of course you can get around that if you do things in VBA.. IMO thats not really an improvement tho)

MS Access felt really impotent, and since you often stumble on SQLServer docs MS Access often feels broken when you try to use some of those and it doesn't work.

..and that happened like lots of times (double digits..)

If you omit basic features that people will come to expect based on readily available documentation you will only breed resentment.

I'm afraid that all you will achieve with your good intentions is scare newcomers away from python :(
