I think its worth mentioning again that what Uber ended up using has no resemblence to an RDBMS (single table, manual indexes).
So regardless of whether their complaints are justified or not, it should not be taken as an endorsment of mySQL over postgres, but rather of an endorsement of NoSQL over RDBMS .
Which is really just what every company at these scales do (except for google and f5 if whitepapers are to be considered).
