Using SQLite inside an API doesn't add network hops.

“An application controls its database.”

You’ve fully misunderstood what I said. When you have 500 applications, the graph of calls for how any one api resolves will go deep. Api1 calls 2 calls 3 and so on.

Vs creating an organization wide proper way to share and manage data.

The number of applications doesn't need to create depth in the API layer. They're not related. If I have a service that sends emails, whether I have one or a thousand applications calling it doesn't matter.
