Slow Growth of Platforms

New technologies like Pnekle and Wasm were attempted as more portable versions for compiling SQLite to JavaScript, until Mozilla proposed Wasm, which gained widespread support. However, using SQLite on Safari faced obstacles due to the elimination of cross-site caching for privacy reasons. The slow growth of platforms can be attributed to technical, political, strategic, and economic factors. The economic aspect stems from human behavior that tends to avoid risks and laziness, translating into reluctance in adopting new technologies like web storage in app development due to the perceived high risk involved.
