Major change for us to replace postgresql was replication and HA across geographies - i think on the Postgres side greenplum and cockroachdb are/were an option.

With MySQl variants like percona xtradb setup can go from 1 instance to cluster to geo replicating cluster with minimal effort.

While vanilla postges for an equivalent setup is basically pulling teeth.
