A couple of reasons which pop to mind:
- Searching a plain text data file is O(n). Searching a SQLite database that has been properly indexed, which is very easy to do nowadays with FTS5, is O(log n) worst case scenario and O(1) in the best case. This doesn't explain why SQLite over a dataframe or anything, but it definitely justifies it over plain text for large email collections.
- SQLite is really easy to write custom views and programs around. Virtually every major programming language can work with it without issue. See also: simonw's wonderful https://datasette.io/ .
- SQLite is an accepted archival format by the Library of Congress, if you ever want to go down the rabbit hole of digital preservation.

Project mention: Syncthing – A decentralized continuous file synchronization program | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-08-18
You could use Syncthing just to empty the incoming files from your phone (ingest) and then move the photos via cron to a second folder (also Syncthing) which is just shared with the replicas.
Another approach would be to push the files from Syncthing to borg (borgmatic can do replicas) https://torsion.org/borgmatic/
