Yes, probably in many cases it's due to what the administrators are
happy using as well. I use postgresql because I do a lot with
postgres and that's where my skills are. I've attended MS SQL courses
and imagine if that's what you use daily, that's what you'd be
happiest with - you know all the backup, replication, performance
tweaking etc.
