I've assessed a fair number of companies who use Mongo in some way or another and the I always ask the rationale for the decision. Surprise surprise, it's usually "we chose it because it was easy to start with".
My favorite recent one was a company that had to persist their Mongo database into AzureSQL (nightly job) so they could then push it to Good Data for analytics. They could have very easily used SQL Server and pushed directly from there to Good Data. And yes the company admitted that was the case.

Also the table is misleading, PostgreSQL replaced Oracle, Mongo replaced Oracle Coherence[1]. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oracle_Coherence https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oracle_Coherence
