Maybe it’s just a matter of it being difficult to list all the things they didn’t use. The Figma article itself is a little more clear on their goals…

It’s not really just postgres compatibility they are after, but compatibility with the Amazon RDS version of postgres. They also wanted to have something they could adopt incrementally and back out of when something unanticipated goes wrong.

Also, I think yugabyte uses an older version of the postgres processing engine, which may or may not be a big deal, depending on what they are using.
