It depends on your task. In analytics where you need to scan lots of data points within few columns, then columnar storage is very much the best. But for transactional workloads where you have to deal with specific entities, row based would be more advantageous.

Squeeze people’s livelihood by rent seeking; pillage public resources while externalizing as much of the risks and cost of doing business back to public; limit access to capital to few networks. Then pretend it’s in people’s power to choose to earn more if they would only work harder.
No one is arguing that founders shouldn’t earn the rewards for their work and risk. But to act like it’s all fair business and freedom of choice is rather glib to the point of being callous.
