In the early 2000s, MySQL was:

- way easier to install

- way easier to maintain (not vacuuming, etc)

- and had a replication story.

So you had startups which created their MVP on some shared webhost, which had MySQL and nearly non had pg. as those startups graduated into enterprise fame, they never left MySQL but instead fixed its problems along the way.
