OP mentioned using this to scale WordPress instances in one of the comments. So I assume that had something to do with the choice. It probably wouldn't be TOO hard to support multiple dialects of SQL in the future though.

The MySQL protocol is a lot saner and easier to implement than the pgsql one. I can imagine thats a factor? Once connected the sql dialect matters really little
