I suspect you are used to database servers, and haven’t used SQLite as an 
embedded library inside an app (its primary use case.) Virtual tables and 
table-valued functions are extremely useful there, as are a bunch of other 
features that probably seem like “playground” to you, like C functions and 
pointer types. The product I work on would be impossible without these.

As for FTS, I can’t see how anyone would consider it frivolous! Full text 
search is very common, something many apps with structured storage eventually 
need, and found in a lot of big database servers. (You didn’t mention 
geo-queries, but the same goes for those. And for obvious reasons they’re 
especially good to have in mobile apps.)

I’m curious which extra SQL features you think should be added? And what your 
use case is?
