Maybe its because of a lack of DBMS experience as we've move more and more from owning database servers to consuming *-as-a-service. Maybe it's because everyone thinks that they'll have Facebook scale traffic and concerns so they immediately gravitate to technologies designed to solve problems at a different order of magnitude.
