Purely speculative, from my own sampling of web and backend
application developers over the years, across at least five relational
databases other than MySQL.

Sure - many of the DBAs know about them, but most app developers, in
my experience, don't. Or, at least, they don't consider them as useful
alternatives in the general case. And, in many cases, they'd be right
- a lot of things work just fine without them.
