A large proportion of people never NEED to know when to use a database. Why teach them skills like that that are almost entirely useless? If they have an interest in databases (for their future) outside school, then they can pursue it outside the national curriculum.
You don't learn anything alongside database knowledge, like you might if formatting a letter in Word (grammar/layout/spelling etc) or by creating a presentation in Powerpoint (thinking about audience and purpose, and the layout/colours used in it to draw attention).
