I do not see the motion specifically useful only to store persistent
data related to Emacs.

Rather I see usefulness in the waste future development with databases
interfaces: inventories, product lists, invoices, quotations, contact
address books, tags, documents, all kinds of applications may be
developed when database is easily accessible from Emacs by using Emacs
Lisp.
