I suspect SQLite is the most used database out there - given that it is
on every Android and iOS device

Remember MySQL being GPL means you can't ship it with your app -
unless you open source your app or pay for MySQL. Both Firebird and
Postgres are the only two "main" fully open source databases.

used, but not a "real" DB by most terms.
