The psycopg dependency is slightly more optimized than than the binary one, but the problems it creates when it is used as dependency are numerous - it always expects to compile the psycopg dependencies, so you cannot install it when there are no build-essentials installed and on some systems additional libraries are needed.

We introduced it in #25710 for optimisation reasons.

However, the optimisations it brings are not really justified with the installation complexities it introduces, that's why we revert it.
