Whether a reference is made or not, it's still relevant. If a server listens
to the network its potentially vulnerable, whereas sqlite is effectively a file,

Yes, but since it's cross-platform, you can run it on something other than
windows, which like it or not is the number one cause and target of viruses
on the net today.
