Other instances where browser scaling is bad are: * PoS browsers that don't render SVGs (how old are these by now?) * Even modern browsers have subpar SVG rendering at 1x, PNG looks better * Some media types are "scaled" in unusual ways (SVGs, but also video stills, PDF pages, ...) * Some original images are really friggin' large (20-30 megapixels sometimes), so at least some downscaling is needed there * Mobile clients will want to minimize the amount of data transferred
