The unnecessary evil of the shared development database(www.troyhunt.com)

Who remembers what it was like to build web apps on a shared development server? I mean the model where developers huddled around shared drives mapped to the same UNC path and worked on the same set of files with reckless abandon then fired them up in the browser right off the same sever.
Today, no one in their right mind would consider building apps this way. It’s simply not done, and for good reason.
So why are so many people building the databases behind their web applications this way? Is the data layer really that special that it needs to be approached entirely differently? Do the lessons hard learnt since the last century no longer apply?
