This!
I already mentioned this a while back and was basically berated (by someone that seemed like a dev/close to dev) that current setup is just fine and because of postgress complexity (extensions) it has to be done that way... and while I like postgress a lot it's quite annoying that the upgrade is such a terrible experience... :|

I suspect it’s also a bit of stockhold syndrome on behalf of admins haha

Or better yet - "guarding the job", i.e. making their job very important ;)

Very true. At a prior company, we rolled out a simpler and easier to use admin console for our enterprise product and all the customer admins hated it.
Because now it was easy to use hah.
We ended up rolling it back because the hate was so consistent.
(And no, this wasn’t us guessing or making this up - a number of them were quite explicit that we were threatening their roles, and to stop it.)
