With a local SQLite database you don’t need to pay cost of network transfers.

A dozen of local SQL calls could be way faster than a single API call within a region.



That's true, but low query latency doesn't mean much if you have to do a full table scan for your query. Some thought still needs to be put into how the clients will query the data, so it's really not as simple as just "ship your entire database to the client and let them figure it out".
