This is addressed in the xsv readme: https://github.com/BurntSushi/xsv#motivation

We can't stop, because it's a de facto standard format for exchange with spreadsheet programs. So long as that's ubiquitous, we might as well write tools to make processing them easier.

Also, I'm not sure why you called CSV unsafe. It's certainly the case that it's severely under-specified, but I don't think there's anything unsafe about it.
