Not being optimized for a particular use case, makes it a poor choice for anything outside toy, or best case, medium sized applications.

The point is you have the level of control that lets you optimize for your use case. RDBMSes are a jack-of-all-trades solution and have the advantage of needing very little customization, but they can't be as well-optimized for specific use cases.
