As much as I would like to have this, in addition to your point about browser support, there are reasons I can think of from the top of my head:
There isn't widespread support in image editing programs to simply add text to a jpg/png/whatever, then save the result as an SVG.
Most people don't see any motivation, as most people don't have a lot of text on images.
A lot of images with text are screenshots or photographs, rather than with overlayed text.
Upload services for images usually don't support SVG.
- cooper12 10y agoYeah unfortunately I have to agree that the workflow just isn't there yet. (definitely a chicken-egg aspect to it) I can kinda see why, editing SVGs is completely different from editing raster images. (the former is pretty much code) The only reason I can see why image hosts don't support uploading it is because SVG has had some security issues. (don't know if this is still a factor) As for your point about most images not being text, I agree, but SVG does support embedding raster images so it would only be a small cost that yields all the benefits mentioned.
