But if the storage is a storage library the developers wouldn't be reinventing it every time. And if a new technolgy came along it might be easier to start using it than to say that all applications in an organization must use the same (often relational) db. The latter seems to be very common. And the dba's don't seem to push the use of newer technology much, or look into how much time it would save the developers. Regarding tooling, you are right, it is a bit lacking with the newer database solutions but they seem to be working on it and I think it would help if everyone involved tried to help describe what kind of tooling is needed/wanted. Now a lot of discussions stops with saying the tooling isn't good enough and noone should ever use the new database solutions.
