Switching a project from SQL to NoSQL is usually too expensive. Traditional relational databases lack a lot of necessary constraints to even have architectures necessary to make the switch to a distributed database, it can only happen with a complete redesign of everything. I think it's more common for those who had problems with SQL databases to drop them for their next projects and move on. For example, I consider a highly-available multi-site distributed database as a minimum viable database and haven't used an RDBMS in like a decade.
