Convenience, with a dash of necessity. Average end-user is challenged enough just installing an O/S and productivity suite, and learning how to use them, much less a real RDBMS. Plus: MS Office (Pro) has one, so LibréOffice and relatives have to have one. Yes: Such tools should never, ever be used for anything very important. People will, anyway. Then complain when their db gets corrupted. Best thing people can do is regularly back up known good versions of their db. That's what I tell users of MS Access to do. (I am curious why anybody'd design a database "tool" like that to run entirely out of memory. Seems like asking for trouble.)
