I bet most non-FAANG programmers have indeed never worked on an application which could not be built on a single host with SQLite. And SQLite is in fact more fully featured in some ways than some client-server DBs (when will Postgres add support, even via a plugin, for primary indexes?) I agree with you that it is important to realize where a client-server DB may be needed, but the it really almost never is.

For perspective, same conversation, but different subject: "A bicycle is all the transportation you will ever need in most cases. I bet most non-bicycle drivers have indeed never been anywhere which couldn't have been gotten to by bike. And the bike is in fact more fully featured in some ways than some cars (when will cars shrink down? not require fuel? not pollute? cause less harm?) I agree it's important to realize when a car may be needed, but in reality it almost never is." Even if all of that is true... I still want to use a car, for good reasons. I may not need it, and it's more complex to use and maintain. But I get enough value from it that it's worth it.
