>>> People pay us (Cloud SQL) and AWS (RDS) a surprising amount of money to run MySQL in a VM for them.
As a happy RDS user, I totally agree. Surely, I could run MySQL and the result would be mostly fine, after some mistakes and lessons learned. But all the things such as upgrading, etc still take time, add a bit of stress, one more thing to care about. Could that time and energy be spent on more valuable (from business point of view) activities? Yes.

I have regretted this decision.
