I've read it. I don't think it actually alleges any misunderstandings
about the Postgres architecture, but rather that it doesn't perform as
well in Uber's design. I don't think it actually alleges that Uber's
design is a bad one in any way.
He does also make the stinger at the end:
On 2013 Uber migrated FROM mysql TO postgres, and now in 2016 they
migrated FROM postgres TO Schemaless (with just happens to have InnoDB
as backend).
So the original article very much seems to have been written with a
skewed bias and wrong focus. That's bias as in "shifted to one side as
used in math" not bias as in "opinionated asshat beating some special drum"
