I struggle to think of any code with real-world applications that doesn't have to make CAP tradeoffs. The reason that often doesn't seem to be the case is willful ignorance.

The only way you can have ACID in a monolith is if the data store is incorporated into the RAM when the code runs and the code is not interacting with any exterior system.

Typically the data store is external though and yes you can have atomic states in the data store but that doesn't translate to your code. That's CAP right there, between your code and your data running on two distinct systems.
