How long did it take for Postgres to displace MySQL? That's the opportunity cost.

(sidenote: I don't think the "why don't you do it better, then?" response is reasonable. Recognising that a situation is bad and being able to fix it are two different things.)

If you don't know what a better solution would even look like, how do you know that the current one is bad? How can you talk about "questionable design decisions", "borging stuff", "increasing the monolithic complexity", and things that "might start breaking pretty badly" if you don't know how to improve it?
