I would say that for small shops and simpler apps MySQL / MariaDB may be
fine. If you go to enterprise class apps and infrastructure you'll start
to need more, which means PostgreSQL.

For instance : unnest , transactional DDL, the extensions system, custom
types, the MVCC etc those are very important features that some
commercial DBs lack.
