Great point. It would also help if the company that makes a DB would put flashing banner on their page to explain the trade-offs in their product. Such as "we don't have single server durability built in as a default".
I understand if they are selling dietary supplements and are touting how users will acquire magic properties for trying the product for 5 easy payments of $29.99. In other words I expect shady bogus claims there. But these people are marketing software, not to end users, but to other developers. A little honesty, won't hurt. It is not bad that they had durability turned off. It is just a choice, and it is fine. What is not fine is not making that clear on the front page.
