Your link doesn't open. I assume it is
<a href="https://help.libreoffice.org/7.2/en-GB/text/shared/explorer/database/dabawiz02.html?System=WIN&DbPAR=BASE&HID=dbaccess/ui/generalpagewizard/datasourceType#bm_id763267">https://help.libreoffice.org/7.2/en-GB/text/shared/explorer/database/dabawiz02.html?System=WIN&DbPAR=BASE&HID=dbaccess/ui/generalpagewizard/datasourceType#bm_id763267</a>
but that doesn't support those comments.
1. Database is SQLite
2. Community recommendation is ODBC connection
(<a href="https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/connecting-base-to-sqlite-in-windows/68168">https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/connecting-base-to-sqlite-in-windows/68168</a>)
3. Wizard text is nonsense for SQLite
btw, there's no suggestion of different help text for each OS</pre>
