How is that different from running Postgres and Elasticsearch separately?

It’s not.

It’s a difference between having separate OLAP and OLTP databases, which is what the parent post suggested.

Probably skill set of staff?

For example, if a place has developed fairly good knowledge of PG already, they can "just" (!) continue developing their PG knowledge.

Adding ES into the mix though, introduces a whole new thing that needs to be learned, optimised, etc.
