It's nice that RealBasic works with SQLite fairly seamlessly. It makes it easy to create an in-memory database much like we have cursors in VFP. Full SQL capability of SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE is sweet. (Dabo has had this capability for a long time as well.)

If by 'proprietary' you mean tied to a particular database, then I wholeheartedly agree. People want freedom with their database choice and their ability to extend it.

Side note: Why do so many people choose Quickbooks with it's proprietary database and ridiculous licensing fees?

I think the days of tools having their own proprietary databases are well behind us, thankfully.
