MSSQL (Clustered Indexes) and Oracle (Index Organized Tables) among others let you chose because there are advantages and disadvantages for different situations.
Not having true clustered indexes in PG is something I miss coming from MSSQL, it helps performance when the majority of access is always primary index avoid indirection from index lookup then tuple lookup and it also saves space if its the only index.
