I've seen the same when at one point we decided to just store most data in a JSON blob in the database, since "we will only read and write by ID anyway". Until we didn't, sigh. At least Postgres had JSON primitives for basic querying.

The real problem with that project was of course trying to set up a microservices architecture where it wasn't necessary yet and nobody had the right level of experience and critical thinking to determine where to separate the services.

Storing JSON blobs in the database can be the best option if you are careful with your domain modeling.
