I'm like 90% sure Stripe started on MongoDB (may still be using Mongo?). That might have something to do with it.

A company which handles money as its primary business is using MongoDB? Hopefully the actual dollars are always handled in a “realSQL” DB with proper transaction isolation.
I recalled that specifically because I remember having the same reaction when I found it out (I think? I have a distinct memory of learning this) back in 2012 or something.
