Why do you think it's impossible to scale relations (aka tables) to infitine scale? It is totally possible, just look at various analytical SQL-ish DB-likes (Apache Hive, Presto, BigQuery, Snowflake, etc). Now, what's harder is to provide some of the stronger ACID guarantees, say, fully atomic distributed commits. Most of the time it's just a question of time it takes to reach full concensus in a distributed context. But this has nothing to do with the relational data model itself, which is just tables of uniform rows referencing each other. Say what you like about SQL, but the core model is perfectly fine.
