Your computer's file system isn't a database in the same way that SQLite is. Using the computer's file system to do things like queries and lookups instead of a database program like SQLite would be slow and inefficient. Calibre uses SQLite as a database (for doing queries and lookups and other such things that databases are good at), and uses your computer's file system for storing files (which your computer's file system is good at).
