Yes, I understood that. But you can store those simple tables in your 
sqlite database as well, together with the vector layers. The database 
can hold as much tables as you want, having only text or vectors. And 
Add sqlite database table will show all fields.

You can open a ticket for it. Maybe the programmer thought it was a good 
idea to hide the id. What will happen if you edit the id field, and the 
value is not unique anymore? Or add another object?
