MySQL isn't ACID. Postgresql is a full-featured database that doesn't allow injection. It is very safe and secure. Also, the way that PostgreSQL has a much better user management system and database/table level access ACLs.

Basically, you just asked a bunch of people who have used  PostgreSQL over MySQL why PostgerSQL is better. It is just better. The only time that MySQL might be better is if you have a very simple website and you want a SQL backend. For anything else, PostgreSQL is infinitely better. 

Thanks,

Note that the query cache was removed in MySQL 8.0 (don't know about MariaDB)
