XML old skool!!!!!?????
I think it was down to its verbosity and syntactic clutter compared to
something a bit more concise, like JSON.
Bloody 'ell, does that make me pre-historic in prefering csv text files

CSV is popular because of its simplicity (once you get past some annoying
little dialectic variations). I even added SYLK export in a project once,
though I suspect nobody else remembers what that is any more ... (DIF,
anybody?)
There are other ancient formats that remain popular because they are so
simple to both generate and parse. E.g. with all the advances in 3D
graphics technology over the past few decades, good old OBJ remains in
common use as a basic format for transferring large amounts of geometry
between different apps.
