It isn't being compared to all formats, it is being compared to sqlite. Some random version of one implementation written in C, stored in "fossil" may be good enough for the library of Congress, but that kind of nonsense went too far for even browser makers to take seriously.
Meanwhile it is trivial to read and infer data from formats like CSV to either use directly or automate a reading process with any tools that exist now or in the future.
