what problem should it solve? you can store anything in a db fetch it and run it. binaries, what not. parts of then. web components.

id ask, is it really a bottleneck. fetching code. maybe in some systems or types of execution environments it could be worth it. really dont know.

Id assume data is stored in databases because it needs to be viewed from different angles. (join statements etc ) and it has different peeformance and layout requirements.

most code is 'read only' too, so theres no need to do stuff like synchronization / locking on writes and ordering stuff.

then again, there might be systems that dont have this aspect, and somehow have very high load on fetching code, and maybe code is writable too, and could have queries to extract certain parts of code, or combined code from various files/tables.

i think tho the main reason is this difference between how code and data are fetched and used will be the reason why in the general case it works like it works. its not been needed to work differently. so no one looked for a solution. no big problems in the space. (my guessing)
