Because with MySQL, to wrap every column with `` in a query is very clumsy. In most of time, to write mysql query, one should use an ORM.

It's not the case with PostgreSQL.

What? You don’t have to quote column names in MySQL unless you use reserved words or names with spaces or special characters. Postgres has the same requirement.

Using an ORM or not is a different question, nothing to do with either MySQL or Postgres.
