In what sense is it inappropriate?

This is the wiki on postgresql.org.  It is not and does not purport to
be a scientific journal.  You're going to find some
advocacy/advertising/promotion up there, and I don't see anything
wrong with that.

You would obviously expect any page on mysql.com to have a bias toward
mysql, and likewise for microsoft.com and mssql, oracle.com and
Oracle, and so on.  Why were you astonished by a page on
postgresql.org having a bias towards postgres?

Cheers,
BJ
