Sale of enterprise software into companies that have already paid for Oracle, built the infrastructure and have (Oracle) DBAs to handle tuning, HA and so on. Adding postgresql into that mix is a hard sell. Enterprise software that can support both postgresql and oracle backends is a much easier sell (even into those places that end up using postgresql).
