alt Hacker NewsPostgresql is the better product, but doesn't have the horizontal scaling of MySQL/Maria though, so if you want an easy to setup cluster MySQL for high volume online retail store or similar has a use case still.

I think we take for granted how few databases ever outgrow vertical scaling needs.
Usually there will be one or two tables that grow at a dramatically faster rate than everything else and I have always found that those belong in a separate data store.

This hasn't been true for quite a long time, because it's domain of other products for both.
i.e. MySQL/Maria's MM is one of the worse options compared to anything else.. like TiDB or Aurora on AWS for MySQL compat and Yugabyte or CockroachDB for Postgres compat (or Aurora on AWS or AlloyDB on GCP).
