While I agree with your discussion of the external factors, I'd like to
point out that any modern database -- regardless of whether it's MySQL,
MariaDB, Postgres, BDB, or what-have-you -- will have approximately the
same amount of external factors.

As far as I can see no vendor has yet managed to field a database that
yields good results on real-world datasets without some sort of tuning.

This is of course not in any way a disagreement with your statement:
just further emphasis.
