Certainly, Supabase is living proof that there's major demand for the ergonomics of Firebase with the established SQL ecosystem; however, there still seems to be a gap of a real-time, syncing, relational data store.
That's what we are still hard at work creating at Triplit[1] while others are making strides to add this functionality to Postgres directly[2].

As someone building primarily on Firebase in my spare time this is awesome. I use it as the backend and storage for my supercharged chrome extensions.
I think Firestore is okay for simple use cases such as payments and auth, but you definitely need SQL for heavy business logic
