Would you back that up, please? I mean with something else than "on my
distro I see something vaguely resembling an sqlite shared object".
The shared object lib-dynload/_sqlite3.so on most linux distros is
*not* sqlite only the wrapper.

This doesn't exclude the possibility of other python distros
distributing sqlite itself, for example on windows this seems to be
the case.
