Yes, I was trying to keep it simple but that detail only further supports the fact that these changes have no value to upstream.

That's a pretty strong claim. There's bound to be one Apache project (even a future one) that could utilize that code/knowhow.

What does Postgres have to do with Apache? The basics for building OLAP systems are already well known and Apache has several projects (Druid, Calcite, Arrow, Parquet, ORC, Drill) that are related to it.
It's one thing to take a database and fork it towards a specific narrow focus and runtime, it's entirely different to try and put those changes back and make the original database more capable in a general environment.
