In oelden days, I once made an entire (small) web site out of SVG. All the layout, everything; it was before responsive design, and before SVG had text wrap. It had animations and everything.
In a way, it was pretty cool; like PDF web pages. Everything was always perfectly and faithfully laid out. But the downside was that everything was always perfectly laid out … for exactly one display dimensions.
I still have a soft spot in my heart for SVG. I wish it were more widely used, and that svgz was more well supported. But yeah, you're right: it's not the best choice for a lot of graphics.
