I love Postgresql, but I don't want it to end up like oracle, where it is the center of thr focus.

That being said, I like the idea of Postgres as a platform for more than data tables storage and database engine. It proved quite powerful and useful.

The killer reason for "Postgres as a platform" is that Postgres has a robust* security model (there are edge cases, but for a subset of statements, it works well)

That is true, and most DBAs are fully aware that the security model is only as good as the extensions they load and docker integration is very likely low on the list of necessities.
