sqlite has amalgamated source too. It's used EVERYWHERE. This opinion doesn't seem like it's based on anything valid or real.

Note you get some opportunities for better compiler optimizations when the entire compilation unit is the entire project. In fact, sqlite claims the code runs 5-10% faster when built as an amalgamation (https://www.sqlite.org/amalgamation.html)
