I can't speak for others, but at least for me the main attraction of CockroachDB is getting foolproof HA straight out of the box. That is something I think anyone can appreciate regardless of their dataset size.

Note that I haven't actually ran CockroachDB yet, so I can't confirm if it really delivers on that promise, but I'm hopeful.

"getting foolproof HA straight out of the box"

This is a minimal requirement for any modern database.

No, HA straight out of the box is a minimal requirement. Foolproof HA is not a requirement, since neither MySQL or Postgres offer "easy" HA setup.

Galera cluster works "out of the box", that might be the closest SQL competitor in that regard.

Here we see a cornerstone of HA: redundancy
