Primary application file format for... what kind of files? Because it's certainly not going to (nor should it ever) replace hypertext documents.

Being able to load a read-only .sqlite database might seem cool, but I can't think of a single instance in which that's smaller and/or more efficient than calling data endpoints that use gzip/brotli for transport.

Or are you thinking "as replacement for IndexedDB"? In which case, hard agree but then it's an actual database, not used as file data container.
