Possibly I got it wrong and switched around which was easier on the devs and which was easier on the sysads?
In my defence, ISTR, when talking to sysads about MySQL vs PostgreSQL, they preferred the latter due to having less to worry about once deployed (MySQL would apparently magically lose data sometimes).
MyISAM in the olden days could/would magically lose data. InnoDB has been the de facto standard for a while and I haven't seen data loss attributed to it.
