Well from their product news -
https://blogs.oracle.com/cloud-infrastructure/post/expand-managed-open-source-services-on-oci
"OCI Database with PostgreSQL is a fully managed PostgreSQL database
service ..."

and you only get to access the server as a client, so they have to
provide some level of support.

No one said their support was good ;) only that they offer it.
