You fairly quickly run into problems a RDBMS can't solve. They're above all incredibly hamstringed by being built around supporting concurrent mutation of the data set and mutable datasets in general.
If you don't need that, even a fairly naive index implementation will get orders of magnitude more performance out of a computer than you will with a RDBMS if you can assume the data is immutable.

Unless you have a problem that very explicitly is a poor match for an RDBMS, they are the easiest, most reliable, and most flexible way to manage data, separate your data from your application, and adapt or add functionality as new requirements come along.
