To be solved.  Mythweb is going away RSN since
no one has stepped up in the community to update
it for the changes that are ongoing in master.
Instead, an embedded web server (that is not yet
feature complete, but has been very positively
reviewed by those that have actually tested it)
will provide equivalent functionality.  It is intended
to "just work".  No more fiddling required.

Interestingly, the trying to avoid having to "fiddle"
issue is one of the reasons that an embedded DB
makes a lot of sense for the majority of the users.
You seem to be making a good argument for an
embedded DB.

Underlying data access does not *have* to mean direct
DB access.  You are conflating the ability to obtain
information with a particular tool (what I usually refer
to as the hammer problem).

I will also refer one to Mr. Dean's statement that it
is likely that a first step is to embed MySQL
(or perhaps, mariadb) itself.  That should tell you
want you actually need to understand.
