As long as postgres is your only external service, this is fine.

But looking at my docker list of auxillary services for 8 projects, I see redis, postgis, postgres 10, postgres latest, memcached, mailcatcher (fake smtp), ldap, a custom oauth, kafka, MySQL, piwik(matomo), in various forms and configs.

Sure, abstraction layers and adapters keep many such dependencies out of the way in Dev and testruns. But the inevitable debugging and troubleshooting does require a quick way to run such a service.

Eight projects, wow, you are very impressive. Good job! Perhaps you are not the audience for "The easiest way to get started with PostgreSQL on the Mac".
I'm not probably.

But why the snarkily tone? It is really uncalled for.

A bit OT, but what are you using for LDAP?
