It's sometimes easy to fall into a singular mindset with how Databases should work.
In some environments, the transaction/consistency are king... for others, you relax certain guarantees for potentially expired data, or slower consistency models for performance and scale.
It really will depend on the environment and target audience(s) for your applications. Not to mention how unbalanced reads vs. writes are at scale and this will really shape decisions.
