Do you realise that there are many reporting and analytics cases where SQLite is a great fit?

The parent is saying this isn’t a great idea because target users don’t use SQLite. Your reply is it is a good idea if people changed how they do things to fit the idea
I don’t have a horse in this race the reply isn’t very well I don’t know what to make of that
I am looking at the data analytics industry as a whole and being involved in communities of data practicioners. Most of these people use cloud DBs (Snowflake, BigQuery & co) since there's less dependencies on DB Admin type of work.
Some might be using Postgres or whatever the Engineering team provided them with, but I don't think I have really heard of a Data person preferring to use SQL Lite.
Might still be a great fit, but as the other comment pointed out, it might not be a good fit for the target audience.
