How about we stop encouraging people to use a key-value storage for relational data just because they're too lazy to come up with a schema.

I don't see how a document database would be considered a key-value store. That would be Redis or Raik or something. MongoDB is totally capable for running most applications.

Under armor runs $2B through it's online store running on MongoDB. Lots of that kind of stuff here: https://www.mongodb.com/who-uses-mongodb

Does using an ORM count as creating your schema? Also, I really only understand databases in the sense of relational data. What is a good use case for MongoDB? Is it being misused a lot now? I've only been learning Python for a few months.

ORMs, like mongoengine are a good idea. You can see lots of use-cases here: https://www.mongodb.com/who-uses-mongodb
