This comment honestly smells like arrogance. It's frustrating that you are writing as if ClickHouse and MongoDB is only used by large companies that are either can afford new servers or cloud production since that I have seen cases where software (especially MongoDB) being used on desktop-class and embedded-class hardware. To note, "Not all CPUs from the listed families support AVX. Generally, CPUs with the commercial denomination Core i3/i5/i7/i9 support them, whereas Pentium and Celeron CPUs before Tiger Lake do not." Intel is rather famous of withholding features for the sole sake of market segmentation (ECC anyone?)

I'll withheld my expletives on you narrow-minded comment but the point is that you are only considering the subset of actual users to the point that it's not funny.
