The biggest thing MongoDB got right was putting developer first, optimize for initial experience and development speed.
Most database systems came from relation theory background and optimize for performance, operations, data safety, but often developer convenience was sacrificed.

You can argue if that's were the right tradeoffs, but that's how MongoDB get a lot of steam.
