I mean, you might still be right but I'd rather suspect that they didn't consider somebody running SQLite over S3 with 100ms latency ...

Presumably, it is faster on a saner filesystem.



Spatial locality matters on all storage systems, the timescales are just different magnitudes. The filesystem cache and making the most from each page you read from disk still makes a difference, you're just not measuring the delay with your wristwatch when it's local SSDs.
