I assume you're referring to Web SQL? As I understand it, the argument against isn't just "there's only 1 implementation," it's "there's no standard and there's only 1 implementation," so the standard would have to devolve to "whatever that 1 implementation does."

From what I remember main argument was 'developer aesthetics', and then we got unusable without wrappers nonsensical IndexedDB.
