I think it's because PostgreSQL got major features for web development — like JSON and RLS — not too long ago and most developers are just catching up.

JSON was added back in 2013[1] and RLS back in 2016[2].

JSON support wasn't all that great until JSONB columns were added in December 2014[1]. I think that was when devs started taking it seriously.
