FWIW I've been in the Node/JS community for a few years and I've honestly rarely seen MEAN or Mongo be mentioned outside of blogs and corporate Hackathons (where Mongo is usually a sponsor). Maybe companies use it (I rarely pay attention to what people do with Node at companies) but I'll bet it's because of "hype" and its apparent popularity. Most JS devs I follow or talk to use a SQL database and dislike Mongo.

I'm somewhat frequently exposed to absolute beginners and MEAN does occasionally pop up as one of the various flavours of "I picked a thing before learning the language, now what?".

Other popular contenders are similar "full stack" or "full featured" solutions like Sails, Meteor and Total.js.

This is generally a result of beginners to Node trying to find something that does everything instead of spending some time learning the basics with a library like Express and going on from there.
