Well I do understand sqlite is available by default, but gnucash requires libdbi with the sqlite backend (which in turn indeed uses sqlite). I haven't checked whether all supported distros also have that combination installed by default. I don't know if webbrowsers also use libdbi. I know firefox does not. And I haven't and won't spend time to check this for all those distros. However I do agree this should only be a small hurdle. And I understand your script is an optional aid for those people that would want a better privacy guarantee before sending their data in for analysis.
