That is certainly a valid concern with Drupal. However I think you are
possibly looking at this the wrong way. If you look at Rails, Django,
Turbo Gears, Catalyst, Groovy+Grails they all have excellent PostgreSQL
support.
What I find is that many "PHP" people that build software are still very
much MySQL folks and yes that is unfortunate.
I would note that all your concerns are resolved in Drupal 7. The real
question is when they will manage to get that out the door.
