I have never heard anyone mispronounce postgres. It's even more straightforward than Gitea, which native-roman-language-speakers might pronounce "git-tay-ah"

You're missing the fact that the name is not even Postgres, it's PostgreSQL, /ˌpoʊstɡrɛskjuˈɛl/ POHST-gres-kew-EL. It's so awkward people actively avoid even typing it!
