If it _is_ 50% faster, then that's the reason
Obviously like any new database it's very risky to use so probably only used for niche use cases at first, but if it turns out to be just as reliable as postgres and faster then why not?
It probably is 50% faster, probably by skipping flushing data to disk.
I'll make it 100% faster, skip saving any data to disk.
