Sure, but: 1) 99.9% of internet-facing/adjacent businesses are not Google and will never reach even 1% of Google's scale 2) Proto + BigTable is very different

Sure, but:
1) 99.9% of internet-facing/adjacent businesses are not Google and will never reach even 1% of Google's scale
2) Proto + BigTable is very different from just throwing stuff in redis/mongo. Proto schemas are compile-time enforced, which is great for some teams and might slow others down. Google enforces more discipline than your average engineering team -- this is overkill for most engineering teams.
