But the question is who the target audience for SQLite is? Is it
software developers or application users?  If programmers can customize
SQLite by changing source code, then they are probably smart enough to
change property files.
I am not complaining about the lack of a config file, just wondering why
not

Not only is it a feature, it is a blessing.  One of the most endearing 
features of Sqlite is that one file encapsulates everything.  The 
simplicity is no accident but rather the reward of plenty of design 
discipline.

I can attest from experience to the improvement in software reliability 
achieved by removing .ini files and similar configuration add-ons.  For 
example support call rates drop enormously.
