I can give you two good reasons. LiveJournal and Wikipedia. In the past couple of months both of these websites went down due to power issues in their coloco facilities. It took a bit of effort to bring both of these sites back up because the database was in an inconsistent state. Both sites lost data. I would not trust anything of value in MySql.
