you get an edge over size with binary formats, but it's a pain to edit on the fly - svg has relatively low barrier to entry in this respect.

perhaps a TVG niche could be around embedded, low-power, slow-connection devices where content is mainly read-only.

At that end it competes against compiling your graphic directly to source code, eg

  void draw_tiger(ctx) {
    ctx.setFillColor(255, 255, 255);
    ctx.beginPath();
    ctx.moveTo(124, 56);
    // etc
  }
