If you buy Oracle, and there's a problem, the conversation with the
CEO is that "Oracle broke." With PG, even if you have exactly the
same level of support, "that database you selected broke."

The sad reality is that choosing something with a high industry
presence makes it easier to offload blame for failures, especially
when dealing with non-technical management.
