This has been discussed and answered many times by Logitech people. One particularly potent reason, in my opinion: If you've been following the forums over the last year you've probably seen a great many support requests from people who had their virus scanner interfere with the MySQL temporary files on Windows. The move to SQLite will remove this issue, along with any issues related to starting and keeping a database server running because SQLite is an embedded database.
