Reducing egress bandwidth, if you have automated clients that don't support JS you save precious bytes from being served by not embedding the SVG, which at example.com scale may be worth it

Wouldn't removing the pointless SVG image entirely save the most precious bytes from being served no matter if JS (or SVG) is supported or not?

    Why aren't we all eating inexpensive gruel instead of "pointless" food? Same reason.

    It's good to have a little color/flavor/spice in life.
