I think this article totally misses out on the UI/UX benefits of an SVG. For example, I've been able to implement amazing animations that require little effort from me and allow designers to really show off their talents. SVGs may not be perfect, but the pros definitely outweigh the cons. When I work on the frontend, I think there are very few use cases where I have to worry about the readability of an SVG. The author also kind of lost me at JSON-based graphics.
