Well, it generally fits until it doesn't, and that's OK.
If your scale is small enough, fiddling with specialized solutions is just premature optimization.
PostgreSQL will take you a long way before you need to look somewhere else.

My comment doesn't necessarily contradict the article. I only mean to point out that a general purpose "non-optimized" thing still fit a whole lot of companies out there, depending on their scale.
EDIT: Although I concede that yeah some DB tech makes it easier to configure HA systems, if you can live with the downsides.
