SquashFS is read-only and requires elevated permissions to mount, but also presents as a true filesystem.

Sure those are differences. I really mean: how does something deliberately designed to be a file system in a file compare to SQLite being used that way?

    It does not, unless you use SQLite in a read-only manner which doesn't make much sense anyway.

    BTW. There's nothing in SquashFS that makes it "a filesystem in a file". You can use it directly on a device (and it's often used this way), and you can use many other filesystems in a file just as well.
