Just because it's easy to say doesn't mean it's wrong.
By the same logic, you could say Microsoft Access should have all the capabilities of Postgres because it's painful for small businesses to move off of it when it's no longer a good fit for their needs.
The thing is that PG had introduced pluggable storage engines exactly for the reason I am talking about, and there have been few implementations of columnar storage using PG functionality, it's just they always stayed out of the tree. So I wasn't talking about some functionality that is completely out of scope.
But I agree in the end I may be forced to move elsewhere...
