From here:
https://www.enterprisedb.com/
#1 IN POSTGRES
THE MOST ADMIRED, DESIRED, & USED DATABASE.
is not helpful.
Though I would say the bigger issue is here:
https://www.postgresql.org/download/
Where you have
Packages and Installers
and then further down
3rd party distributions
It tends to imply that the 'Packages and Installers' are not third
party, when they are to some degree or another.

I think it is that way because we don't have any guarantees or regular
communication with "3rd party distributions".

I would say it is not clear enough that Core is responsible for the
source releases, anything above that is some other groups
responsibility. This becomes apparent when you have to tell people that
fixing packaging issues requires reaching out to said groups through
means that are not entirely clear.
