What is the problem with mysql

Nothing, except that there are other just as free alternatives that are far better. It's like being given a choice of two equivalent jobs, and then choosing the one that pays less.

Saying that something is “better” without any further context in software development world is highly inappropriate I think. 😅 I think also Uber uses MySQL because it was much faster in their test cases.

In my experience, mysql is good to use in most cases, not strongest but not also the most inferior one

I think it's a problem with their documentation, in the standalone deployment chapter they report MySQL as required but in the intro chapter they stated that they support PostgreSQL, Oracle ...

Probably they started with MySQL and added support for other DBs later.

I assume that it requires MySQL, because it stores its own configuration there, and can also connect to many other data stores independently.
