Why are portions of the test suite closed source?

They charge money for it...

Note that I'm not saying all of the test suite should be open source. It's clearly a valid/cool business model and SQLite is, for a lot of use cases, an excellent piece of software that I have often used myself. The criticism was honestly more directed towards the cherry-picking of facts that sometimes happens in discussions on hacker news, especially those related to SQLite.
