That sure sounds like equating.

Sure, the LITE in SQLite means you don't get some things. There is still a huge amount of software that doesn't need
concurrency and can benefit from it.
Having installed Postgres I can say there is definitely a cost to install it, use it, maintain it, etc... especially if
you aren't steeped in it and have to look things up every time you have to make a change (how do I add a user again?).
I think the general advice should be: if you are writing a single-user application that happens to need SQL services,
check out SQLite; if you are writing a multi-user or concurrent SQL application, check out Postgres.
