My theory of why Postgres is still getting the hype is either people don't know the problem, or it's acceptable on some level. I've worked in a team that maintains the in house database cluster (even though we were using MySQL instead of PostgreSQL) and the HA story was pretty bad. But there were engineers manually recover the data lost and resolve data conflicts, either from the recovery of incident or from customer tickets. So I guess that's one way of doing business.
