> why are they choosing it over PostgreSQL
Because it's fast, portable and easy to use. Pretty much what most developers want.
People can bring up the tired "oh but you will lose your data" jokes but it really isn't that much worse than anything else on the market. They all have bugs at some point. And I really don't see how PostgreSQL is any more reliable or has a larger expertise pool/tooling etc. If you were talking about MySQL/Oracle I would agree but not PostgreSQL.
