Are you implying that isn't the case today? Thousands of (big) companies are still like that and will continue to be like that.

I write my own SQL, design tables and stuff, submit it for a review by someone 10x more qualified than myself, and at the end of the day I'll get a message back from a DBA saying "do this, it's better".

If you have one, more power to you. I'm currently making a good living as a freelance DBA/SRE for startups. With a team of 3-5 devs, some of which frontend and/or mobile devs, proper database knowledge is definitely thin on the ground in some places.

The question of it being in the cloud or not is highly orthogonal to schema design.
