Some databases do offer both, but it is much more involved than just changing the storage model. The entire query execution model needs to adapt to columnar execution. You can simulate a column store model in a row-store database by splitting a table into a series of single-column tables, but the performance benefits you will capture are much smaller than a system that is designed and optimized for column store execution.
