Well that's not fair, there's been a bunch of tries at HTAP systems (hybridizing both an OLTP and OLAP system with some columnar bolt ons) but there's no free lunch converting between data formats - columnar formats usually have very useful things like run length encoding which is insanely fast to unroll but annoying AF to change.

Sure, the point I try to make is that if you add things useful for OLAP to a OLTP system you could pessimist the OLTP system (that most often is the source of truth)
