Not bashing Postgres, however that statement is an overstatement. Postgres was a "it exists" database back in the early 2000's.
All the scripts my scripts kiddie paws could get on were always orientated towards MySQL.
Uploading .php3 files on 56k were my teenagers eyes of fun.

If we're really nitpicking it's not saying Postgres is the most popular database since the early 2000's. If you base it of off install counts as the metric, I would assume the statement is true since I'd think it's either Postgres or MySQL today.
LAPP wasn't a thing, which is now. And Apache is falling behind thanks to nginx.
It wasn't until JSON and Postgres supporting JSON that made developers change their cog. 2012, and I'd agree.
