They all sound reasonable. I think you missed an important one though: aggressive (and even sometimes outright false) promotion and sales by the company MySQL AB.

Why I started looking at databases, you didn't have to look very hard to find PostgreSQL, but you did have to at least make a minimal effort.

Also, my understanding is that if you go way back on the PostgreSQL timeline to versions 6 and earliest 7.x, it was a little shaky. (I started with 7.3 or 7.4, and it has been rock solid.)
