Can you imagine what humanity would achieve if we stopped developing pointless or redundant new database engines?

I can, we'd have in-core sharding/ha/multi-dc in postgresql by now if they didn't focus on nosqls :(

I doubt that. If you're referring to the people adding the json datatype & operators, there's little overlap with the people working on replication related issues.
