The wise man builds his house upon the rock. The foolish man builds his house upon the sand. I will 100% blame the platform when what it provides is deficient, for selecting a deficient platform is one of the gravest mistakes a developer can make. And Postgres, again, is materially deficient in its query performance predictability, and its developers are insistent that they have no desire to allow the approaches that would mitigate it. If this matters to your application, then the prudent developer will drop Postgres and use a real database.
