Why is it basically shit? It appears to store and retrieve the data as per my instructions.

Except when it doesn't. We've had data corruption issues related to oplog, out of sync secondaries and excessive resource usage on the primary. As far as major problems. There were also a bunch of smaller problems but in fairness those were on the nodejs/mongoose side of things. Would not recommend.
It's like if you ask "how do I drive my car downtown" and I answer, "Easy, just park at the station and take the train".
To answer your other question, their marketing goes a long way. I recently started at a new company, and the lead was proudly telling me how the project was developed using Mongo... So I start explaining how it's basically shit after using it professionally for a few years. His answer? But SQL doesn't scale well enough!
