Sure. But for many use cases, SQLite is enough.

This is a forum of professionals though, how many production apps can actually run a database with no HA, no replication, single process access, no remote access, and is weakly typed?

And if you suggest "$project that's built on SQLite" to do all that then congrats you just reinvented MySQL or Postgres but with SQLite as the DB engine.

Anything that is shipped on Android, on iOS, or as a macOS app, apparently. Sqlite is incredibly useful and much more prevalent that you imagine.
