I do use it, and rewriting the whole file annoys me especially when the storage is not local and the database contains sizable blobs. For storing passwords and short secrets, it makes little to no difference but if I have 10 1MB blobs stored in there, it becomes upsetting.

Well, yes, this is what OP is saying, and I'm not arguing against that. However, this is not what *.kdbx was designed for. And I am only talking about what cryptographically changes for the intended use case if we encrypt every page separately.

10 1MB blobs is nothing on modern hardware.
