You missed the "in the most common situations" part.

Modern RDBMS can handle millions of ops/sec and terabytes of data. They do the job fine 99% of the time and are constantly adding new features.

If you have the 1% need for another data store, there are hundreds of options, and interestingly many of them are also starting to implement SQL as an interface now.
