Why are MySQL and MariaDB shown separately. For all intensive purposes they are the same.

I might have agreed with that when the two initially forked, however the gap continues to widen:

So far as liking one versus the other; they are the same. Nobody is going to say "I like MySQL over MariaDB because I have to change MarioDB options to make it work the same as MySQL".
