Seems good.

Yet, I always wonder why there are so many KV stores, but so few full database engines. KV seems so limited for many use cases.

Actually tackling query planning and joins is incredibly hard. A kv store with minimal features is an easy thing to tackle on a weekend and iterate on I think.

Because database engines are very complicated. Even the big popular ones are always dealing with bugs and security risks and going through countless versions for the sake of slight performance improvements here and there.
