I get the impression that it's used exactly as it should be, in systems that need a database but don't need clustering or failover strategies.

Even for those cases where you do need it, there are emerging options. You can handle replication 100% in business logic (something I personally enjoy), or you can use a path like dqlite to replicate the physical WAL log.
As far as I can tell, there’s far too many file formats out there. I’m sure sqlite should be used more than it currently is.
