Here is the excerpt that the quote comes from:

"Bottom Line

Porting applications to SQL Server is not the usual direction. Developers
are more likely to port SQL Server to Postgres because it is open source,
supports more ANSI features, runs on more platforms, uses a different ACID
model and has a great optimizer.

If you live in a Microsoft world and need to move Postgres code to SQL
Server, don’t expect the port to be easy. You might luck up, but that’s not
the way the smart money bets. The pure SQL part will not hard if the
original Postgres is clean and simple; you will have to write the extra
ANSI features with complicated T-SQL. The hard part is that Postgres
assumes a non-Microsoft environment and a different concurrency model."
