Yes, there are MySQL vulnerabilities, but I think you're vastly exaggerating how significant they are and especially injection - there are cases when people forget to protect against it, but I've only seen maybe 1-3 servers that are vulnerable.

Plus, I think you're forgetting how many people who are actually somewhat security-concious and use a unique password for every server/service they use.
I think you are underestimating how many users actually use the computer daily without understanding anything about the computer at all. We're speaking of a tool here, not everyone is like us and cares about what the tool actually does.

Nevertheless I don't quite believe this is worth argueing about because surely this is such a vast topic we could be discussing it for years.
