Why do I get the PostgreSQL CMS valid connection error when I don't have it installed?

So, I purposely chose to not install PostgreSQL CMS with the latest DAZ Studio app. However, when I open the program, I get the following message (see attached file.)
Why does this keep showing up every time I open the program? It's not installed and I don't use/want to use Daz Connect or the CMS, so I don't understand why it keeps showing up? What do I need to do in order for it to go away, without having to install it (because I don't want to)?
I am using the Mac version of Daz Studio.

It keeps showing you that message because you haven't installed the Content Management System.
You may find some info here https://helpdaz.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/207530503-PostgreSQL-CMS-Frequently-Asked-Questions
Or you can go and look for pages like this https://www.shouldiremoveit.com/DAZ-Content-Management-Service-16145-program.aspx
That information is not very helpful. So, can Daz Studio 4.10 not run on a mac without getting that message (unless PostgreSQL CMS is installed)? Because I don't seem to find any articles that mention if the CMS can be deleted/removed from Daz Studio?
well the 2nd link I sent was to a page with tips on how to do it Whether it is advisable is another matter. I asked someone else and got this reply
"uninstall PostgreSQL - and get DS complaining, and break some features"
DS does need the CMS for certain features to work properly, if you don't have the database installed you will get that warning on start-up.
