If there were implementations of SQLite in other languages, do you believe chrome would have used a different implementation?

  I don't know! But if this sort of thing can happen in Chrome, I think it's a pretty strong counterargument to "let's standardize formats in terms of a C implementation of a thing that parses a complicated language, among many other things".

    XML has been a source of countless vulnerabilities, yet we continue to use it as a standard.

      XML has its own problems but 'has a single canonical implementation in a big hairball of C' is not among them.

      Non-C implementations of XML don't have countless vulnerabilities. There's XXE and schema requests which are language independent, but otherwise... it's ok.
