We are an ISV. I agree the risk involved in sharing the data. Still few of my customers need that facility and are accustomed to it when using SQL Server. On switch over to PG, I face this issue as a limitation. Need to find and provide a solution.
For those customers, having good volume of data, we're implementing replication which resolves this issue. For smaller sized database (company(ies)), they prefer (and we too) this copy and re-copy procedure, to transfer the data between home and office.
And this pandemic made this a compulsory feature, which they don't want to loose. This transfer is not a one time job, it gets repeated, which they have been doing for years. Here security is not a big concern for them.
Portability is the need for them.

As Alvar Aalto said in a lecture at MIT
It is not by temporary building that Parthenon comes on Acropolis.
