Best example I can think of is cases where you can’t really put an image, eg commit messages (especially if you don’t have something like pull requests where you can put images). Some terminal emulators have support for images, which fit most of the use cases here but not the one I described. I would hope that most people would generate charts with a notebook (jupyter, pluto, orgmode can all have actual images though when I briefly used pluto, I was going mad trying to (a) not get an svg which would suck for a lot of points and (b) get bigger plots in the notebook) or that at the repl you would get something like R and have an X window with the plot rendered to it (tip: dbcairo makes plots over X forwarding much better).
