there are far, far more sqlite instances than Windows Registry instances in the world.

"SQLite is likely used more than all other database engines combined. Billions and billions of copies of SQLite exist in the wild. [...] Since SQLite is used extensively in every smartphone, and there are more than 4.0 billion (4.0e9) smartphones in active use, each holding hundreds of SQLite database files, it is seems likely that there are over one trillion (1e12) SQLite databases in active use."
