PG does this just fine, with a full battle-tested relational system to back it (and you) up. > with key-value tables all over the place which NoSQL would have removed the need for.

What other way could Magento have implemented user-defined columns at the time, using a RDBMS? In 2009 when MongoDB was released, JSON columnstores were something to dream of and the alternative was storing serialised data in a BLOB field. That "stupid schema" did not have an alternative I can think of, except NoSQL.
