Some of our customers rely on Oracle’s database system, because history. Sadly, we can’t teach them.
True, and I keep those folks in my prayers.
But if you're on MySQL it's a lot less of a lift to switch to MariaDB than it is to go to Postgres, even if Postgres is better in some ways.
I rewrote the last remaining MySQL-based software of mine this year because I didn’t want to have MariaDB just for this one tool. Everything else had already been migrated. PostgreSQL is much faster in my tests.
