I agree completely. At the very least, embedded PostScript should have been supported for scalable graphics from the beginning. We now have this "sort of" available with the HTML <canvas> element, which uses essentially PostScript primitives for drawing with JavaScript. However, this format is not amenable to easy automated processing within the language, because in contrast to PostScript, JavaScript is not a homoiconic language. A useful compromise between simplicity, security and flexibility could have been Encapsulated PostScript (EPS), a subset of PostScript with certain restrictions.
