Measuring the importance of Postgres is tricky. I’ve noticed that a lot of new DB services use Postgres tech at some level. Cockroach DB is a good example and arguably a pretty important project.

What do you mean? CockroachDB doesn't use any Postgres tech other than reusing the same wire protocol.

But that is Postgres tech and it gave CockroachDB the ability to reuse existing client code for Postgres.
