Nope. Using MSSQL or MySQL basically depends on your requirements. If you are using some Microsoft based technologies like ASP or ASP.net to develop your website then you can use MSSQL as it is also a product of Microsoft and can be considered more compatible with it
If you are using Linux hosting platform for your web hosting package or server then you can choose MySQL as MSSQL is not supported on Linux

Yes, most of the open source applications and programs use MySQL as MySQL is open source i.e. does not require licensing fee and there are less limitations on MySQL in comparison to MSSQL
