I think because of these reasons :
1- you must start a Database engine in your server, too.
2- if MySQL goes down, you have problem ! (it's more possible to MySQL goes down, but not postfix) even though it's not a good reason for not to use MySQL :D
3- Security Reasons ! It's easier to crack the MySQL, specially when use MySQL for another things, too ! and some times you can get all the Data of MySQL with one user access ... you see most of the website (and Portals) uses MySQL for store some of datas, and you want store mails in MySQL too, that is not a good security practice !
4- Currently MailDir is compatible with the most of softwares, and I think no body tried to chage this standard :P
Also it's not hard to get backup from mails and could easily done by a script, but if you really like to store in MySQL, I guess you must coding by yourself.
