It almost seems worth giving up ISO for SQLite, but I understand there are real concerns when you get into enterprisy stuff. SQLite is kind of its own standard. It's public domain and they don't do breaking changes all day, and it's in C. As long as C is still viable, SQLite is usable on basically all non embedded platforms, and nobody really needs to reimplement it, unless they want to port it to Rust or something. Not that you'd need to, since it's already very reliable.
