Seems to me this has already been answered well multiple times by multiple
people; I’m not sure why this is such an issue, or one that warrants
continued discussion.

By your own admission, you wouldn’t see the value, where others who came
from Oracle would. Additionally, your assumption is incorrect: many Oracle
databases are migrated to Postgres, more-so today than when much of that
was written.

You’re arguing against it being in the docs and talking about how much
better it would be in other more focused content, which does have some
merit. But, at the same time, you’re neither qualified nor volunteering to
write it. As such, getting rid of it here serves what purpose other than
omitting useful information to those it would benefit directly in the
documentation?
