This seems to suggest that Postgres should focus on something other
than enterprise-level applications, and (presumably) on something
else.

Frankly, I am _mighty glad_ that the developers are focussed on
enterprise-level applications. That's what makes Postgres eligible
to back enterprise-level software. Applications that try to do
everything for everyone tend to end up doing nothing very well. I
don't think one needs to look too hard to discover examples of that
phenomenon.
