SQLite has its own closed-source page-level cipher format, so I don't think this argument makes sense.

A weakness though, again, is that this is closed source...

The biggest weakness is the cost. Each client would have to purchase an expensive license. The source code is provided upon purchase though, but essentially destroys the ability to build a client from source due to the compiled binary distribution.
