well I'm not against using transactions, I'm using them a lot. But I most often I read data on other threads where I do not need a transaction, especially for validating data or just getting data there is not the biggest need for transactions. And especially if your data can be dirty (not 100% accurate data) basically yes you need transactions to guard against dirty reads, but most often you don't care for dirty data, because if you are not having financial data or data that needs to be taken with care, let's say you have a timeline with posts, you don't care if the last read was dirty and probably the user does not care anyway, he will just refresh the page once he needs more up to date data.
