Why not give in and pay for the SQL Server Hyperscale instance? Isn't there enough BS to worry about? Why continue to waste time on tired old OLTP/OLAP/scalabil

Why not give in and pay for the SQL Server Hyperscale instance? Isn't there enough BS to worry about? Why continue to waste time on tired old OLTP/OLAP/scalability/etc. conversations in 2023?
Unless your business can continuously write >100 megabytes of transactional data per second, this solution would almost certainly address all of your needs forever and ever. Up to 100TB too. It just works. It offers transactions exactly the way most business expect them to be conducted. No weird code, no weird client libraries, nothing. It works more or less like it has for the last 30+ years.
I can tell you for a fact that simply setting up a gigantic shared database called "company" and getting the team connected to it did wonders for us. When you stop worrying about "will it scale" you can start to collaborate and do amazing things again.
