My impression is that endusers are having a lot more trouble due to important backup/restore features not being in core/pg_basebackup, than due to external tools having a harder time to implement certain features. Focusing on external tools being able to provide all those features, because core hasn't yet, is imo entirely the wrong thing to concentrate upon. And it's not like things largely haven't been implemented in pg_basebackup for fundamental architectural reasons. It's because we've built like 5 different external tools with randomly differing featureset and licenses. Greetings, Andres Freund
