Those were only a few examples. I can keep listing companies that use sharding.

The idea that it is some 1980's approach to scaling databases is laughable.

You're right, it isn't a 1980s approach. I recall hearing about it in the mid 1970s, and even then it was probably originally devised in the 1960s.
