These counterpoints are probably valid for most database systems, but with Postgres it's actually far more efficient to use it as the substrate in which everything else is embedded.

* Postgres has a robust, battle tested role based security model with inheritance.

* Postgres has foreign data wrappers that let you encapsulate external resources as tables that behave the same way as local tables for most use cases.

* Postgres has plugins for most of the popular programming languages.

If you really like GraphQL, the Postgres approach can still give you that too, using Hasura or PostGraphile.
