Uh, most distributed environments you have no choice but to use a server, because you’ll have clients on a (relatively) uncontrollable set of other machines.

If you’re writing something to run in an embedded/client app environment, then yeah why would you use Postgres for your one machine? You could, but it’ll add a lot of moving parts you’ll never need and probably don’t want (like remotely accessible network ports you’ll need to secure)
