Because OS X is UNIX, a POSIX certified BSD descendant to be exact.
There is a significant percentage of the Mac user community who use them specifically because of their workstation roots. We don't make a distinction between the different layers, as it's all part of what makes OS X wonderful.

Yet MacUpdate is linking to 5.1.57.
What gives?

So, with MySQL, 5.5.x is the latest feature updated branch, but 5.1.x is not "old", it's merely a separate branch, which, having been in use for a longer period of time, is probably slightly more stable.
In any event, MU should include links to the latest version of 5.1.x and 5.5.x. Both are valid and current branches of MySQL. With server software, it's not about either/or but both/and.

I've filed a bug report that contains a workaround that circumvents the permissions issues. However, this is okay for a development Mac like min, you MUST NOT do it on a production system.

For those of you who need more info... this pref. pane works for those who did the custom work-around in the previous posts on this topic. Worth trying at any rate... you can't harm your computer.

Although newer versions are more stable, have more of the *basic, required* features that make a database engine a 'true' database system (such as foreign key support, and transaction rollback), the truth is that there are other systems out there - such as the excellent and much under-used PostreSQL - which, in my experience, have a less restrictive license, are more advanced, supporting more standard features, and still just as cross-platform.
