It has indeed been a pretty rare case for web apps, but it's a not completely insignificant niche for desktop and mobile apps. Some of those (e.g many Electron apps) could become pure web apps if more of their enabling technologies were available as WASM modules. I think this SQLite initiative as well as the underlying file system access API is part of that trend.
