I agree. But the end-user did not construct this program. It was you.
I coould learn how to install it. Then, I should teach the end-user to
use it. But the program was not made or installed by the end-user. I
might be able to teach the end-user to modify it. But I doubt it.
What I mean is that end-users must have an easy entry point. Of course
that ease must not hide innner workings because that would disempower
the end-user. How do you propose it could be implemented? (if you agree
it should be done this way, of course)

Not much to do. Just installing SQLite and then the program you
propose.
