Most large databases nowadays are divided by sharding

Err, this isn't even close to true. MySQL isn't the only database in the world, you know.

Sharding has nothing to do with MySQL, and everything to do with scaling.

I think the point was that the big DBs have better ways to deal with scaling than sharding.
