Relying on google trends is the dumbest things I can think of

Almost everything declines over time on google trends

PostgreSQL is hotter than it's ever been, and is "declining"

Absolutely this. The past is not a guide to the future, at least in this sense. A lack of buzz does not mean something is dying; more often, it means that it is mature and well-understood, with much of the necessary supporting information already out there and readily discoverable.

It’s useful to summarise the leading solutions at a moment in time, but nothing ‘has won’ - it is only ‘winning for now’. That is the insight/hindsight that is missing from this borderline-obnoxious opinion piece.
