Personally it's the history for me. MySQL started with MyISAM, not innodb.

So if you wanted an actual transactional database back in the day, MySQL was definitely not it. You needed Postgres.

InnoDB was not MySQL. It was an add on. So if I had to use MySQL it was with innodb of course but why not just use Postgres. And after the Oracle acquisition... Yes I know MariaDB. But I'm already on Postgres so...
