It's not that hard to understand.
MySQL is a popular RDBMS starting point. Therefore, almost by definition, if you run into someone using a RDBMS but not really knowing WTF they are doing, they're quite often using MySQL.
If it wasn't MySQL, the same people would flock to, and poorly use, some other tool.

I don't think it's because MySQL is terrible, but almost all the people who don't really know databases start with MySQL by default, so the community surrounding it consistently has more people who are grossly misinformed than (for example) Postgres's.
