This is correct; it's the companies that are heavily regulated that have a hard time choosing a nosql solution. The flexibility of SQL means you can create a report at any time. This is necessary when the government comes knocking wanting some specific data pronto.
It's not just regulation. It's a need to report at a granular level and slice data as many ways as possible. That's why Essbase is so popular, even though it's so poorly written.
