Postgresql is the better product, but doesn't have the horizontal scaling of MySQL/Maria though, so if you want an easy to setup cluster MySQL for high volume online retail store or similar has a use case still.

I think we take for granted how few databases ever outgrow vertical scaling needs.
Usually there will be one or two tables that grow at a dramatically faster rate than everything else and I have always found that those belong in a separate data store.
