From my day-to-day work I can tell, the date(time) type is the only missing

strings). And an interval type. And...
YMMV but I tend to say that those aren't the usual types of a business
application where I come from.
Answering questions like "how many" (integer), "what" (text) and "when"
(date) is far more common than "give me that binary blob" at least in
the domain where I work. Never had the necessity for an interval type;
usually had a start and end value where the "interval" was derived from
those values.
