Indeed- I am out of school almost 20 years now, distributed systems were an advanced research topic and no class on them existed. My database course was an elective and focused entirely on RDBMS'es and SQL.
I have kept up to date on these technologies, I participated in undergrad research on distributed systems and my career has revolved around them. Many devs never really get a say in where their data goes, they might read a blog post or two about new systems, but it leaves a very light imprint. Its been rather spotty as to whether I had any say in where my data is stored throughout my career.
