I won´t call it "hate", but I've ran into quite some situations where the Postgres version caused a lot of pain.

- When it wasn't as easy as a dedicated solution: where installing and managing a focused service is overall easier than shoehorning it into PG.

- when it didn't perform anywhere close to a dedicated solution: overhead from the guarantees that PG makes (acid and all that) when you don't need them. Or where the relational architecture isn't suited for this type of data: e.g. hierarchical, time-series, etc.

- when it's not as feature complete as a dedicated service: for example I am quite sure one can build (parts of) an ActiveDirectory or Kafka Bus, entirely in PG. But it will lack features that in future you'll likely need - they are built into these dedicated solutions because they are often needed after all.
