In 2025? Often a tribalistic ignorance of holding outdated preconceptions against MySQL.

A quick search hints me that there is still more ultra-large MySQL setups than there are PostgreSQL. By a large margin it seems.

Between easier upgrades/HA, thread connection model, Vitess and engines like MyRocks, it's hard to beat for many use cases.

Time and survivorship bias can explain the ultra-large MySQL usage, given it used to be the popular choice.
