Banks will all be running Oracle or Sybase. None of us are building banking applications with open source databases. However, Yahoo uses MySQL for stock market data, and users would certainly care if that data was wrong.

Also, Google released patches for InnoDB, which makes it pretty clear they aren't just using replicated MyISAM tables.
