Fair enough, but I assume most of that is in the administration of MySQL? Which is all now abstracted away by the cloud vendors.

If you're running it yourself I could see why you'd do that, but if you're mostly just using it now, Postgres can do all the same things in the database pretty much the same way, plus a whole lot more.

Its both operating MySQL and creating applications that use it.

Additionally, almost all my workloads run in our own datacenters, so I haven't yet been able to offload the administration bits to the cloud.
