Eh, maybe all of those things CAN be done in MySQL, but they are done differently. I think it's totally legit that it takes a lot more development hours to support two DBs than one.
And they said this clearly, they're not hiding that this is the motivation.
Creating the abstraction architectures to support more than one "thing" tends to more than double development effort to support two "things". (Although then lets you add additional more-than-two "things" with less incremental cost. But there's a lot of cost to more than one thing in the first place).
