Sqlite is catching up quickly with SQL support, but like with any fast moving technology - unless they're really interested in it - most of devs are lagging few years behind with their knowledge on what can be done with it.
For instance I remember that at some point sqlite didn't have foreign keys, so I couldn't run my existing migrations on it (without rewriting everything) which was a big issue for me at the time. Now I see that they've added the support for referential integrity in the meanwhile, but I had no idea about it because simply there's so many other libs and technologies to follow - one just can't keep track of every single tool in the world obviously - so some great tools just fall out of focus.
My guess is the word will slowly get out and in a few years people will probably shift to using it more in a web world - but it will take some time.
