I could be misinterpreting both you and GP, but sounds like you agree with GP - if you can't segment them all the way through, maybe they shouldn't be microservices?

Perhaps - but I think they are underestimating the organisational reasons to separate services from each other. If you are really going to say "we can't separate any two things that have any shared persistent data" then you may just end up with a monolith and all the problems that come from that (gridlock because every team needs to agree before it can be updated / released etc).
