Many reasons, full text indexing is a good one for example.
Although mysql claims to have support for it, it is not as far as postgres is (with tsvector).
It has many more extensions. It depends on what frameworks you use, but django is mostly optimized for postgres.
The MySQL ecosystem is a bit weird due to having multiple "mysql"-ish versions. I did a small project where mariadb and mysql where not interchangeable. Some stuff was causing problems, cannot remember exactly anymore.

Edit: EXPLAIN ANALYZE in postgres I love it.
