They call out SQLite because that is the engine they embed in their infrastructure. They aren't worried about people in their code base trying to use MySQL, PgSQL, SQL Server, or Oracle. They're worried about their developers using SQLite when some other format would be more appropriate for some fuzzy value of "appropriate". One shouldn't use a hammer on screws or a screwdriver on nails. Use the right tool for the job. Sometimes FILE* based functionality is the right tool. Sometimes not. It all comes down to the fuzzy concept of appropriate.
