You raise an interesting point. From a purely technical perspective, you are absolutely right: ui and performance would only benefit from full integration into SQLite. But an extension may be maintained independent of the main project’s goals, constraints, people and directions. Patching SQLite requires, IMO, coordination with SQLite’s developers. AFAIK, SQLite4 is a dead end: is there still any interest, or maybe a plan, for “decimal math” in the core?
