Scans the (global) WAL data for only the that portion from the relevant database?

If so, definitely not the same as having per-database WAL files.

Just as importantly, replication is not, and never will be, a substitute for backups.

Who says you have to use the mechanism to replicate to another database, why not to a file?

But WAL files store every transaction, right?  Differential and incremental backups only send the modified pages, even if the page has been updated 1000 times.
