Mongodb is not actually faster. Postgres still beats it in any benchmark that matters.

Nothing is ever actually schema-less. There is merely explicit and implicit schemas. If you don't want to bother encoding the schema as proper columns and instead want the schema to remain implicitly encoded in JSON, Postgres' jsonb columns do a better job of that than any NoSQL database does.
