Not necessarily.
People who care about databases actually supporting SQL properly and performing properly will prefer PostgreSQL.

I don't like to be forced to run a MySQL instance as well. It's often the laziness of developers that causes the difficulty of supporting a different database when they started with MySQL.
If you start with a different one, like PostgrSQL, supporting different database engines is very simple.
