Right, but if you're picking CSV, you likely expect to interoperate with a provider that's not yourself. And then there's no way a parser can handle all CSV formats in the wild.
e.g. the example from my comment on the last CSV discussion (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28223719 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28223719)
What variant is this:
1,5,Here is a string "" that does stuff,2021-1-1
What is the value of the third column?
Is this a CSV file without quoting? Then it's
Here is a string "" that does stuff
Or is it a CSV file with double quote escaping? Then it's
Here is a string " that does stuff
