It's really funny to watch tech journalists try to write about Google infrastructure from the outside, based only on one paper... Hell, it's usually really funny just to watch tech journalists try to write.

Transactions have always been cool, it's just that business that don't need to them have always been cooler in the in the world of tech journalism so they don't get much mention. If something goes wrong at Instagram nobody really cares if you they don't roll back posting the picture of your pastrami sandwich just because the #lolcatz tag got applied by mistake.
I'd love to have actual distributed transactions that could scale indefinitely and not create availability issues. We actually get a steady stream of user complaints about inconsistencies between counter caches and what appears in results. Worse is the inconsistencies that can happen between graph edges that you want to partition in two different manners (eg. following vs followers).

High Scalability is a serious and informative blog, and I wouldn't dismiss it. This isn't TechCrunch. Its focus is less on rigorous scientific analysis of a narrow field, but a good, moderately deep, overview of anything to do with data scaling. And it's doing a darn good job.

In case you aren't aware, nostrademons is a Googler. He is pretty well-qualified to dismiss it in this particular case.

That doesn't ring true to me. My previous job was in the field of services to administrations, nothing very uncommon, and we needed global transactions very badly. I suppose any bank, insurance and even plane ticket trader would love to have global transactions.

Is he similarly well-qualified to dismiss an entire profession?
