My reason for choosing MySQL in the early days was due to it being the default choice for PHP apps back in the day. Every tutorial, the mysql_ function, every app like Wordpress or anything else, and phpmysqladmin. Postgres was seen as more corporate / official / big boys club in my view… similar to how clickhouse was viewed here until recently.
