Honestly, before I joined timescale I had the same impression. Since then I learned that a bunch of the improvements timescale brings (continuous aggregates, hybrid row/column storage and automatic partitioning) are much more widely useful than just IOT sensor data. There is definitely some room for improvement just in communication there.
Ajay already commented, that he's open to new ideas on how to frame timescale.
I for myself always thought of postgres as the best jack of all trades database. It's basically the best db if you don't 100% know what's the best choice yet. Timescale expands on that and enhances postgres's capabilities even further so that use-cases which would usually call for a second storage option (e.g. analytics, vector) end up working great with just postgres itself.
I'd personally love if we also had a full-text offering akin to paradedb/pg_search so noone would ever need to host elasticsearch again. But it also doesn't make sense to spread the valuable postgres expert resources too thin.
