Sure, if you're building some kind of system where you need to ingest data from one application from another application you control, then using a different interchange format like ASV is an option. But then people tend to use more powerful formats like JSON or XML.
That, and data in CSV format is human readable in any old text editor or even work processor which many use as a quick sanity check to make sure their data looks sane. A lot of editors will not display the ASCII control characters at all so the fields on the line get mashed together, or may even reject the file as containing what it considers to be unexpected characters.
While it's great to hope to use a well defined transport for machine-to-machine communication, it's exhausting to explain anything beyond CSV to Bob from sales.
