I think that's unfair: A lot of people have attempted to solve these problems(), and the Windows Way™ has it's own problems. The real answer is probably between elastic infrastructure and the fact that computers got faster and cheaper, and so -- at least for a while the number of people needing solutions here went down.
However a few companies have seen real commercial benefit from actually analysing their data, so we're seeing a lot of "big data" interest. Some of these companies have noticed that a bunch of hadoop/mongo/whatever boxes can't even approach the performance of one "big" box tuned right, so we're seeing somewhat of a resurgence in interest here.
