The gravity is a great analogy. It works with databases too. People are confident in gravity because it is an observable fact of our planet.

I tend to see it more like confidence builds with experience (and therefore time). You don't need to know a lot about to become confident in its operation. Many of us don't *really* understand how gravity works, but we're quite confident in it.
MySQL can be analogized to a new phenomena. People wonder what it is, what it does, and how it operates. Over time, MySQL will gain the confidence and accept of lay-people and turn into gravity of sorts.
