Building tools is one thing, building a system like Postgres or Databases is going to be another thing.

Anyone really tried building PG or MySQL or such a complex system which heavily relies on IO operations and multi threading capabilities

Look at how fanatic the compatibility actually is. Building Postgres or MySQL is conceivable but probably will require some changes. (SQLite compiles and runs with zero changes right now.)
