i am not arguing their decision is wrong on their real world system. It is a system design interview with a hypothetical situation completely unrelated to their prod system, where I suggest a different db than MySQL. They are the ones arguing that my decision is wrong and MySQL is the correct choice, at which point you have to defend your choices.

I still might say something like "So I'd go with MySQL here myself, can you guide me through your reasoning for picking another database system or which circumstances that might cause you to go with MySQL as well?".
