"rebuilt from scratch" means "as if the production server just fell into a woodchipper and I'm taking a new one out of the crate now"

You cannot do that with databases because the data needs to come from somewhere.

I'm sure you could implement some kind of echo server in SQL somehow and yeah that is a "database" that could be rebuilt from scratch with no loss but that's obviously not the kind of thing we are talking about here.
