You're absolutely right ... and this is more for a personal database (the way most people use Notion).

Strictly we could have titled this: the markdown database pattern for small personal databases.

The point was that for personal use e.g. keeping a list of projects, or books etc this is perfect. Or even for maintaining this list on a website.

It isn't for multiple simultaneous writes

Notion is blurring the line and trying to get people to build workflows and applications with notion as "the database"...
