I think csv is a bad format, if you can even call it that. Yes, there are some cases where it makes sense. I worked with an oscilloscope at uni which output csv. But other than that, I consider it more of a concept than an interface / exchange standard
And it’s better to be considered so.
The name itself suggests a Comma as a separator, but we know how inconvenient that is and that tab characters tend to be useful in most cases.
Even LibreOffice Calc asks the user what they expect as the separator when given a csv file, even if it has enough commas to feel correct.
