Yes, I admit that $lookup is slow, in my experience.

I expect better with SQL joins.

What exactly is a "general purpose DB" ? If Mongo is a "general purpose DB" then so are MySQL and PostgreSQL, you can use all three to store data.

Mongodb have a wide variety of tools, It's huge ecosysteme provide more general purpose products, If we talk about performance Mongo have the superiority from reading, creating updating.
