Are there real advantages to using either MySQL or MariaDB instead of PostgreSQL?

Yeah,
I did a speed test comparison between Oracle MySQL and MariaDB MySQL,
MariaDB is about 10 times faster.FYI: When Oracle bought MySQL a lot of developers left and created MariaDB, so the brains behind the project moved, and in the meantime Oracle did a great job of fucking things up.

That’s not what I asked. I asked about a comparison of both of them to PostgreSQL.

Oh misread my bad,

MySQL often has moderately higher performance (particularly for workloads where you want your data clustered by PK, which is how InnoDB is natively structured) and its replication system is much more flexible than either of PostgreSQL’s.

Depends on the task but for general usage there is no big difference. You would choose one over the other if you need one for work.

No. But there are a number of advantages of using PostgreSQL over the others.
