To many people "SQL" in the name implies "big databases". I know from personal experience at work. The powers-that-be didn't want to support another database server (we already have Sybase) and didn't want our group's experimental data "polluting" the production database, so the folks who wanted it went the SQLite/pysqlite route. They were immediately bitten by the multiple reader/single writer limitation and they tried to cram too much data into it, so performance further sucked.

And people trying to build production systems on SimpleHTTPServer, SimpleXMLRPCServer, smptd, or dumbdbm will also find their performance sucks. What's your point?
