Same experience with SVG. Inkscape is terrible at generating files, Illustrator is only marginally better (haven't tried Sketch yet). The same thing applies to code too. There's the principle of using frameworks wherever possible that especially novice programmers stick to without realizing how much harm it can do in the long run. My personal record is reducing the main code base of an app about 20 times (!) by just removing unnecessary frameworks and replacing others with better ones. No, 20 times applies to the main code, excluding the frameworks. This is the same kind of digital pollution. Digital stuff such as graphics files, source code, etc scale too easily unfortunately for all of us, developers and users. Every time I open someone else's big iOS project I find about 80% of 3rd party code linked for no good reason. Let alone some essential frameworks that themselves create pollution by pulling endless dependencies (Google being one of the top offenders from my experience). This is not going to change unfortunately. Digital media is cheap, easy to scale, usually a bit too expensive to get right (i.e. to reduce pollution) and at the same time it's not always easy to see the drawbacks of pollution in the long run.
