I wouldn't say they are widely adpoted now. Maybe the switch is happening now? And I'm not sure all the mentioned products are fully abstracted, for example Bi

  From my own experience, among projects currently in development, these services are pretty much widely adopted. Very few people host their own databases, and I will usually advise against it unless there are unusual security reasons (e.g. you cannot trust Amazon or the NSA). Many old projects, due to costing some amount of time/labor to switch, will likely never move to these database services.

  There's also the hosted CouchDB offering by Cloudant (acquired by IBM). Also, just because documentation mentions something that happens beneath the hood, or companies give you finer control over your service configuration, that doesn't mean it's not "fully abstracted". You'd probably want your database in a datacenter close to your target market, for example.
