But that was the point the the comment, wasn't it ? It is not always the
better technical solution that wins.
With PostgreSQL not being a commercially licensed RDBMS, it is not so
much about sales but rather "mindshare" (I hate that word, but can't
think of a better one). Without a suitably high profile the project will
not attract the potential skills of developers and companies paying
developers out there to continue moving the feature set and quality forward.
