Because there is no best single method of storing data (container for
all cases and all sizes). Relational DB are suboptimal to drastically
inefficient in most cases. Not that performance was real concern behind
relational approach. It rather was an ability to access the DB by
submitting queries, skipping any application if necessary or using quite
generic applications. Not good engineering, at least.
The approach proved successful (in terms of monetizing) but I would
challenge naming it "40+ years of developing technology."
