Yup exactly, it just pushes the problem around, without solving it.
The delimiters can occur in binary data, or when there's nesting -- trying to store TSV in TSV, or JSON in JSON, etc. The latter definitely happens a lot, for better or worse

For the purposes of CSV, I consider text to be anything that satisfies the regex ^\P{Cc}+$ (https://www.compart.com/en/unicode/category/Cc) and I normally strip chars in that category before saving some text (for single-line text). ^[\p{Cc}&&[^\n]]+$ is a regex that can be used to strip all control chars except for the newline.
You can convert to another format if you need something crazier than rows and columns consisting of normal text.
The format that I described does not already exist in the form of TSV. And further based on your original comment I would have thought that both TSV and this format would be discarded as not-useful.
