Maybe they haven't noticed? I've seen databases fail in ways that take a long time to detect on accident, if you don't have a source of truth to sanity check against.

maybe mongo is the db of failed products. Perfect until you really need a database.

The high valuation could be an index of the number of failing products happily using the tech :)
