Well said.

I had a misfortune to work on a project where this exact thinking was used to carve up relatively simple system into about a dozen microservices. Turns out referential integrity and transactions are really, really useful. For example, most task required calls to multiple microservices and if something broke in one of the microservices involved it would often leave other microservices in inconsistent state and retrying failed task became almost impossible. Project was scrapped after 3 years of development.
