people would have designed a shopping cart use-case as a single SQL transaction that would last maybe 10 minutes
This problem was solved in 1965 by CICS for the use case of "you're on the phone to a travel agent and they're finding you a ticket on their terminal". No "10 minute single transactions" anywhere...
In the web age, you want stateless services and HA
Those who forget history are doomed to repeated it.

I thought about CICS too, but I guess few even know what it is. SQL was the contender here...
