This seems 100% orthogonal to the naming conversation.

Unless, perhaps Red Hat was in the middle of an
expensive migration to
/var/lib/PostgreSQL
that noone told their customers about.

If you wanted, a completely separate conversation could
be whether distros should convert various less common
short form (like pgsql) to some set of brand names - but
I think both the PostgreSQL and Postgres and even Postgre
advocates would say it's silly to rename pgsql to any
of those 3 terms.
