Agree. The microservice "shared nothing" NoSQL-oriented approach has, IMO, shown itself to be a cargo-cult of FAANG practices that are just not worth the downsides in practice at that 99% of companies.

It does become necessary when you really do need the computing power of hundreds of servers but that is rare.
It's so rare that it's barely worth mentioning. Sure, there are use cases where any rare thing might become necessary, but it's far from the default everyone assumes it to be.
And if you need it you should just use something like Google Spanner.
