Perhaps fair, but I think though this ties back to one point I was making:
"And then I'd say that this general lack of enthusiasm around the relational model and ACID means that people haven't demanded the right things from their database tooling."
In general there are plenty of solutions in database research and implementation. But because the broad community of developers doesn't put data first, and have a low expectation and knowledge of what a DBMS can and should do...
It took us years to get to the place where Postgres is common place instead of e.g. MySQL; and back in the day "serious" folks spent tens of thousands on Oracle licenses... I guess that's progress, but there's so much more that can be done in this sphere.
