Then you aren't paying attention very well.  PostgreSQL comes with an
extremely rich and useful set of bells and whistles than most people
never use, in a non-detrimental way thanks to proper implementation
techniques.  Most people use a fraction of possible SQL techniques,
let alone most of the awesome functions that come provided in
pg_catalog.  But the implementation is not bloated, so you don't see
it as a problem. :)
