That's really not a serious argument against CSV. Since you paraphrase in a silly way, I can do it too! Your "argument" is "Badly formatted files exist, therefore CSV bad".
Everyone "against CSV" seems to be arguing against badly formatted CSV, and leaping to the conclusion that "CSV is just bad" without much more to say about it. I'm sorry that badly formatted CSV gave you a bad time, but the format is fine and gets its job done.
"It doesn't have x, y or z feature therefore no one should be using it ever" is kind of a dumb argument, honestly.
