I can't speak for the "why", but isn't it still possible to use a 
serious DB engine like postgres instead?

If you're worried about privacy, because the sqlite DB happens t be open 
to everyone (I don't know - I'm taking your word for granted here), 
maybe the access rules on the postgres DB are stricter by default, or 
could at least be set in a stricter way without harming X2Go use?

Just a thought.
