My guess is that mobile phones are now the biggest category of devices. They run off battery power. They have firmware on chips. The more chips they have to keep powered-up, the more battery power they use, the physically bigger the phone has to be to hold not just the chips but the bigger battery, the heavier and more expensive it is. Not to mention a whole fleet of handheld safety-testing equipment with different configurations for different installations, and those gadgets parking inspectors carry around to keep track of which cars parked when. Might be interesting to find out what proportion of SQLite devices are mains-powered vs. battery-powered. Although whether one should class an Airbus A350 XWB as "battery-powered" I am not certain.
