The star schema is still very useful, even though it wasn't invented in the last six months.

Star schema still has its (very prominent) place with many applications. If my information has some natural structure, I'm not going to go out of my way to un-structure it, and star is sometimes the data structure that best suits the data itself.

Yes sure, but it's really hard to scale. Scale on horizontally, not vertically. Vertical scalability is not true scalability.
