Please indicate how many commercial (or even FOSS) DB query interface products
allow you to export directly to VCARD ? Personally, I don't know of any, but
then I don't know all of the commercial products out there.

A quick search via Google doesn't show any immediate results, in fact, all of
the initial results I could find involved some kind of programming language, be
it PHP, Python, or some similar processing language.

Like I said, the RFE has been set to new. However, my personal opinion is that
this is not something that would be directly integrated into the core product,
rather it could usefully be provided as an extension. Indeed, the solutions I
have found so far on the internet show that people tend to use scripting
languages to solve this very problem.
