I guess that's why we still fold identifiers to lowercase, why our
timestamp implementation differs from the standard, why we used to
require AS for select-list aliases, why our views aren't updateable,
why we violate the spec for UNIQUE, why we don't have schema-unique
constraint names, why we don't implement MATCH PARTIAL, ...
The SQL spec is a Platonic ideal to which _none_ of the implementations
are more than a vague approximation.
