"It is our responsibility to chose the right tool for the job."
That perspective doesn't work well for database products, in my opinion. There is a huge pressure for databases to evolve with your business and applications and to adapt to whatever your throw at it.
Swapping out a database product is less like changing tools and more like changing a foundation. You can't do it every time a new problem arises.
That's not to say you can't use a few different products if that makes sense. But that has its complications.
