Firebase is a great solution but...

It's closed source and locks you into Google Cloud.

You can't self host. And since it's pay for use, you can end up with large unexpected bills for a variety of reasons.

It doesn't have full text search.

It doesn't have a relational database.

I'm sure there are more things. Firebase is awesome but it's definitely not the ultimate solution.
