Then one day a better embedded db comes along and people forget about sqlite.

Maybe. But we learn from the sheer hard work put into this level of testing. And having this level of testing makes you put a bit more effort into each new line.

The bar has been raised. If someone is to make a better embedded DB, they will have to maintain it at least as well as this.

(PS I feel embarrassed by my own testing failures when reading this).

Since SQLite is in every iOS and every Android device along with the Python standard library, I don't think it will be forgotten quickly.
