Columnar vs row based is a large architectural distinction. In theory it'd be great to support both, but this has also been an elusive and complex problem to solve. You're not going to see a simple "columnar type" on a row based system like this any time soon, that's trivializing the situation.

Andy Pavlo teaches about this and has done real work in this space, and certainly considers it to be non-trivial. His YouTube channel is spicy and worth looking into if you want to dive deep on the topic.
