Too much work. If you're a startup that's too much stuff to maintain. Much easier to get a hosted MongoDB and launch tomorrow.

And when you only have 2 months rent in the bank and investors want demo after demo in order to give you cash, tools like MongoDB do make a difference. And yes, I've been in that situation before.
