MySQL was actually really easy to install when Posgresql wasn't. MySQL was also much faster when it supported less SQL features. Neither of those things are really true anymore and Posgres has been my go to DB for a while now.

Yup. The early MySQL developers spent a lot of time and effort making the install and setup process as fast and smooth as possible; a lot of people stuck with what they could get working first.
