Sqlite is often just dropped into a project as source code. You can't do that if it were written in Rust.

You can't do that with C code either unless your project is in C (or C++?).

Sure, but for many embedded systems you have to use C. Plus C interoperates well with every other mainstream language. Every platform supports C, so by writing it in C you can support every platform (with very few caveats).
