Data warehousing and ML have different requirements and needs than your typical N-tier web app. Even streaming event data warrants a different solution. It comes back to knowing how to choose the right database for the job.
The issue is around how these technologies are marketed – grandiose claims and few practical use cases. Once the marketing material permeates the industry and some part latches on, it becomes a self-reinforcing cycle. Blog posts, books, and courses bring the information to the masses. Then companies start to adopt the tools. Then they need to hire engineers who know those tools. So more information gets published about them because that's what people want to learn to get hired.
Many engineers today will turn to NoSQL for everything because of the past few years of marketing hype (and acronym-driven-development), and that's quite a shame.
