But that was the point the the comment, wasn't it ? It is not always the 
  better technical solution that wins.

With PostgreSQL not being a commercially licensed RDBMS, it is not so 
much about sales but rather "mindshare" (I hate that word, but can't 
think of a better one). Without a suitably high profile the project will 
not attract the potential skills of developers and companies paying 
developers out there to continue moving the feature set and quality forward.
