It seems lots of people are discovering that SVG is overkill for most applications. Here (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YWffrlc6ZqRwfIiR1qwp1AOk...) is a document by the flutter devs where they outline a new format. I hope we won't end up in a situation where there are 14 competing successor candidates for SVG.
Google also has Vector Drawables for Android [1]. I'm sure they'll also create the other 12 competing successors, because each of their platforms need a new separate format.
Facebook/Meta will create a 15th standard; people will decry it for not following one of the previous 14 standards, but everyone will adopt it. Then Google will re-release one of their 14 but change everything to look more like Meta's.

Too late. Here's another one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haiku_Vector_Icon_Format
HVIF isn't general purpose. It's solely focused on icons and sacrifices precision for the sake of more compact encoding.
