While Clemens was parsimonously adding 14 lines to support a thousands
separator in the SQL interpreter, I was extravagantly adding 225 to
create a new utility.

I thought it was DRH that added it? Regardless, what everyone seems to
ignore, is the stated desire for a query that works with any stock
compatible SQLite implementation. So it can be used with the sqlite shell,
or any of the sqlite embedded database managers or library wrappers for a
variety of languages.

Sure, in a perfect world, people would use something like your new utility.
Thank you for it. But given that SQLite already uses certain American-isms
(decimal point for string coerced reals), adding this is not some horrible
affront to software development, any more than a lack of "type safety" is.
It's just a tool that you are free to ignore if it doesn't suit your use
one's use case.
