Wordpress does not abstract the database, so migration to SQLite would break tons of plugins.

Wordpress is also a PHP application, and it's common to have multiple PHP processes running in parallel, which makes it much harder to use SQLite.

Wordpress does attempt some abstraction of the database via its various wrapper classes/functions like wpdb, WP_Query, etc. It's definitely not ORM-level abstraction by any stretch of the imagination, though.
