The concept of "embedded" database is - at most - a nice-to-have feature.
A Base application embedding in the same single file both the logic and

You cannot use 3rd party database design or database management or
database ... migration tools), 2. "undistributable" to other users and
3. definitively limited to serving a single user.
In fact, it is a nice toy but it is also nonsense to build real
(data)Base applications, the data being embedded.
You're forgetting a large class of users ... the home user, who 1. tends
to "write and forget", and doesn't know about 3rd-party tools, 2. has no
desire to share, and 3. by definition is a single user.
I do not want to forget anyone. I want to open doors, to give home and
other (?) users new perspectives.
A home user using an embedded Hsqldb database has NO BENEFIT in using an
embedded Firebird database. (S)he has only a high risk to fail its
migration. This is at least the current status.
