A lot of people are defending SVG by pointing out how it integrates with CSS and JS the DOM and I'm like "yes that's why a simpler format is better". SVG is too powerful to use as a simple image format.
Everybody trusts user-uploaded JPGs. Trusting user-uploaded svgs is dangerous without detailed domain knowledge.
Json vs XML already demonstrated how less is more.
There are good reasons to enjoy the idea of a vector graphics equivalent to HTML just like there are good reasons to enjoy a vector graphics equivalent to PNG.
