Not sure about that, but it would not be surprising considering who is
backing them.

However, I once read that the real reason is that mysql was available
when ISPs came of existence, circa 1995. It lacked important features of
an RDBMS (you can google the details), but it was enough to satisfy the
needs of php scripts for instance.

First to market, in short.
