I think there are people who went with NoSQL because it fit their specific needs better than a regular RDBMS, and people who went NoSQL because they found it easier to work with than a RDBMS (at first).
The latter group often didn't want to learn SQL and went with NoSQL's as a shortcut, not because they had an intimate understanding of the tradeoffs between the approaches and decided NoSQL was the better option.

There was the third group of resume driven developers who bought into the MongoDB hype around 6 or 7 years ago, which probably overlapped with the second group a bit.
