Why does the .fetchmailrc has to be in the root

It has to be in the home directory.
But you are free to use any path/filename with -f

I would want the configuration files  to be part of my
database.

write a script to the information from your database in a fetchmail config file and execute it before every start of fetchmail

Suppose I want to do fetchmail for millions of users.

fetchmail is not designed for such purposes. It keeps itself from running more than one copy with the same uid. Besides, doing that is simply wrong. fetchmail connects to servers in fetchmailrc sequentially. Guess how long it will take to fetch from millions of servers...
