I can obviously only speak for myself. But (in my opinion) Postgres simply offers the better overall package. I don't think there is a single "killer feature" that makes it better, but the sum of numerous things (JSON support, indexing, parallel query) that make it more efficient (and easier) to work with.

Note that the UUID type in MariaDB is not yet part of an officially released version. 10.7 is still in preview/alpha

MariaDB 10.7 is now GA. They've recently moved to a once-per-quarter release series model, and 10.8 is the current preview/alpha series.
