Somebody just jumping on a new tool thinking it's the right tool for the job might still end up with worse performance than someone proficient with another tool (like Postgres) might get in less time.

No matter the scale or how big it is.

If you are talking of specialized solutions, that means you know exactly where an existing, well known solution is failing you and why.

Eg. if you drop all foreign key references and constraints in Postgres, you might get similar write performance to other databases which can't make those guarantees when you do need them.
