The author treats SVG as equivalent to PNG and complains that
> Images are impossible to use with copy/paste
You can select and copy text in an SVG[0]
> Images are not nearly as responsive, and are difficult to style. Line breaking, fonts, and even colors are difficult to change when using images
This is partially true, but it's not difficult to inherit your page's text colour for SVGs.
> Images are completely opaque to users in need of screen readers
