Sharding is a common db technic for large datasets. So it matches what you'd want in a cryptocurrency. I am not sure why they say that sharding can't be done in other cases. It may look a bit different, but almost all large databases can be sharded. Sharding is not without its downsides. The implementation can be complex and you can actually lose data if get it wrong. In the case of public ledger, you could end up with conflicting datasets. The devil is in the implementation details.
