You'd be surprised how many programs running on things that aren't web application servers which end up using relational queries.

I remember my first encounter with it under the hood. It was a huge list of all my location data stored on my early generation iphone, you had to pull some tricks to extract the file off of your phone and then boom I got a map of where I had been around 2009 better than even I remember it. I think there was a congressional hearing over this. Now they just store that stuff off of the device.
