It is still true that vanilla Postgres doesn’t scale well beyond multiple machines. There are extensions that help, though.

My point is that you can handle a billion of rows on a single PostgreSQL instance.

Looking at the sheer number of rows isn’t really helpful - you’d need to know the query profile. Any database can simply store a billion rows.
