I agree the BigQuery and Snowflake are very nice options for an analytical database.

I've used Postgres's FDWs for an analytical DB at a past job. The reason we used them was because we needed minimal analytics for the projects, and didn't want to deal with a more complex data pipeline solution. It sounds like the author was also trying to avoid a more sophisticated data pipeline solution for as long as possible.
