I was considering walking down this road, because it's really core to the absurdity of this thread, innit?

But, the original post sort of handwaves about what pathological filesystem use is.

The examples they chose (git & npm) imply # of files.

I posit that as easy as it was to handwave that SQLite is obviously superior for npm/git than using N files, it'll be equally easy to handwave that it won't be a problem because SQLite is one file instead of many.
