I mean, I think this is just one of those things where it only matters rarely, but when it does it matters a lot.

Maybe postgres isn't the right solution in those cases. If you need tight control over how your queries are executing you may not want an rdbms.

I don't think choices of things like this ever really come down to one thing like that. Not using an RDBMS might mean having to build a whole bunch of features you wouldn't otherwise have to.

That's possible I guess, but at least some other relational dbs do allow that control, so it's not like it's impossible.
