I'd love to use Postgres, but Firebase is really nice in that it provides first class libraries that abstract away the requests and querying, to the point where querying Firestore just feels like calling an async function on your front end. Plus, you don't even have to think about deploying. There's something really great (and risky) about having an always deployed, always ready backend. Also basic user auth is really easy.

If you're doing a long term project, then Postgres makes sense since the deployment/setup costs are one time. But for short projects Firebase is very nice.

But there are managed Postgres services in almost all cloud providers.
