Exactly; people would like their databases to be correct and consistent, but generally don't care enough to actually do something like hiring someone like Kyle to verify it before buying a database. They just find something with the right features and performance, and go ahead and use it. You see a lot of them in this thread; people who used RavenDB for a while, and then had to migrate away because of issues. If the business actually cared enough about consistency, there would have been some kind of validation and verification before selecting a database.
