As much as I agree, the arguments are a bit tired, I think the criticism can be useful.
There's a tendency in web development towards using well known stacks, and some of them are quite poor choices for most projects. MongoDB features heavily in these stacks despite relational databases being a better fit most of the time, possibly because there's less visibility of alternatives in the JS community.
