Yeah, that’s correct. SVG is not a good delivery format, I agree. It is an excellent intermediate format, like a ProRes encoded video is.

It’s tough. We’re chatting on a website with no graphics besides a low resolution letter Y logo. The most exciting UX development maybe ever in the history of computing is a chat interface. On mobile, it’s all scrolling through rectangles. It’s not looking good for the designers.

Only if you think that the job of a designer in the software industry is to add graphics.

By similar logic, the past hundred years have been bad for architects because there are no more stone gargoyles added to buildings.
