Maybe you just have nothing to say and don't recognize that such behavirs are clearly wrong, that failing silently for a database is a case of bad design, and MySQL is just technically inferior to Postgres. Or are we missing something?
Yes you are. The first thing you are missing that such behaviors are configurable: you can choose whether to fail silently or get an error.
The second thing you are missing is the reason such behavior exist in the first place — namely, there are usage scenarios when it is preferable. Having ability to choose which trade-offs to have is in no way technical inferiority.
