It's a combination of hate of Oracle and love of Postgres; there were nuggets that validated those feelings. Upvoting is both "I agree" and mark that in my voting history for if I ever want to see that page again. Yes, this instance was not super deep but the fact is that it resonated with enough participants to get there. So the literal answer to your complaint is: it was a collective "because I felt like it". Your complaint is not without some merit but also borders on "get off my lawn!". I've seen plenty of front page posts that I don't think are worthy of being there but, hey, different strokes for different folks.
