Tell me again how Postgres can seamlessly do horizontal scaling and synchronous replication?

Tell me again how MongoDB took 8 years to get to the point where its replication is kind of OK.
I'm very curious about what people think about the future of Mongo, independently and particularly in comparison to Postgres. However every time that comes up, people keep bringing up that Mongo was a buggy piece of crap in some irrelevant past. So what?
8 years ago PG did have replication though, so not sure why it not having feature X 8 years ago makes my point moot.
People keep bringing up that it was a buggy piece of crap because its the icing on the cake and pretty much something you never want your database to be, past or present. Not that software configured by default to eat your data and not persist it can be called a database mind you.
Of course I would prefer Postgres when I can use it, and I can generally use it basically all the time, but NoSQL still has its use cases.

In general Postgres was not designed at its core for a distributed world. Even now, replication feels like an afterthought in the grand scheme of things, and sharding nonexistent without extensions.
Yep, all of MongoDB is just one bullet point on Postgres's list of features. Anyone spending on money on it ought to be hauled before the shareholders and given a talking to on fiduciary responsibility...
