I agree that column and row store have very different characteristics, but what I think is worth mentioning is that some hybrid solutions actually store as both row and columnar and have a query optimizer that can pick between them. For example: Oracle DB In-Memory, SQL Server Columnstore index.
At the same event as this announcement, we also announced that we are working on TiFlash which will do similar. Stay tuned for a blog post with more details :-)
