So after downloading from the official downloads page and stripping away all the mjs files and "bundler-friendly" files, a minimal sqlite wasm dependency will be about 1.3MB.

For an in-browser app, that seems a bit much but of course wasm runs in other places these days where it might make more sense.

That's correct, people in this thread are comparing single compressed dependency of sqlite+wasm of 400KB to the total size of web pages which run in MB. I did some actual tests while trying to use sqlite and it does adds noticeable delay on first page load on mobile due to big size+decompression+ additional scaffolding of wasm. Pages that run into MB have small files that are downloaded concurrently so the delay is not noticeable. I wrote about this and my other expriments with in browser db in my last article but it did not get any traction here.
