Let's put it this way - someone who would use Dolt would have been using Postgres in 2019.

The adoption of Dolt has not pointed to this being the case. Many of our (paying) customers have not had PostgreSQL setups, and only around last year have we started to run into potential customers who truly needed a PostgreSQL variant of Dolt. Dolt and DoltgreSQL are open source and will forever be as we believe in true open source, however as a business, we prioritize the features that our customers need.

Either way, with DoltgreSQL now in development, we will now have solutions for both sides! (Other popular databases with their own syntax, such as Oracle and Microsoft, are not planned for the future at this time)

That's incredibly self-fulfilling. Counter status quo signals self-select out before even talking with status quo vendors.
