That only helps with concurrency and makes things more complicated since you
have to worry about page locks everywhere rather than a single whole file lock.

SQLite's philosophy is to make each transaction execute as quickly as
possible, rather than handle concurrent transactions with increased
complexity (note that "Lite" in the name :-)

See the very last bullet point of this page:
