Indeed. Most companies which are cited as 'running the whole system as a monolith' aren't really a monolith. They don't actually run their CMS, their online comment system, their payment processing, their payroll, their recruitment databases, their build pipelines, their bug tracker, and their hardware asset management system, all out of one codebase with a single RDBMS on the backend. People will laugh at that concept, but go look at how mainframe systems work, and you might be surprised how close some old banking systems are to that level of monolithicness. There really are companies who run essentially all of those systems off a single ERP platform. Or worse, on Sharepoint.
