From managing databases over the last two decades (starting with Ingres/mSQL), hardware has growing much faster (RAM/CPU/NVMe) than the data needs. I remember the first time we put 2Tb RAM into a machine to handle most analytics in memory.

From my experience TimescaleDB is fast and takes a lot of data in. If you're multi tenant, it's usually easy to shard.

And we do dataware housing on BigQuery, no need to have your own machine and manage the database.

Of course there are people who need unlimited horizontal scaling.

TimescaleDB also offers a good lot of supplementary functions to the PostgeSQL core product to help with time series data analysis... saves a lot of SQL acrobatics!
