Databases are B2B products, not consumer products. They are commercially useful only when placed in the context of some larger business process (e.g. tracking customers/orders/goods/users/batches/events/patients/filings etc.).
We're talking about database viewers/editors, not databases in general. But also databases are used plenty in consumer products, e.g., some sqlite file that stores your app's config
And these are consumers:
> definitely lots of devs who want easy DB access and would pay
For CAC statistics purposes, if a database is used in a consumer product, then the customer of database-related products is the company that makes the consumer product, not the consumer themselves.
"Software developer" typically refers to an occupation (whether self-employed or working for a corporation), so products for developers would also be classified as B2B rather than B2C.
If you use a database viewer to view sqlite of your shell history, you do not end up in any corporate statistics of a non-existing company making the shell
By the way, another fundamental issue with your link is that it's SaaS, while this is about a desktop app

Only if those devs buy it as a business, not individuals like what we're discussing here.
So basically you can't get to any relevant CAC number from your link
