Are relational databases a poor fit for Node.js?

Are relational databases a poor fit for Node.js?

Recently I've been playing around with Node.js a little bit. In my
particular case I wound up using MongoDB, partly because it made sense for
that project because it was very simple, and partly because Mongoose
seemed to be an extremely simple way to get started with it.
I've noticed that there seems to be a degree of antipathy towards
relational databases when using Node.js. They seem to be poorly supported
compared to non-relational databases within the Node.js ecosystem, but I
can't seem to find a concise reason for this.
So, my question is, is there a solid technical reason why relational
databases are a poorer fit for working with Node.js than alternatives such
as MongoDB?
