Reason

So that it isn't blurry on high dpi devices, like mobile.

What about mail software support for this? IIRC quite a few clients don't support svg because you could embed code in them.

Well true: https://www.caniemail.com/features/image-svg/

EDIT:

Correcting: There is a valid workaround, see https://css-tricks.com/a-guide-on-svg-support-in-email/#aa-image-tag-with-css-hack. I wouldn't even call it a hack. It's totally valid if it works.

<img src="my-image.jpg" 
     alt="A pair of flat black dice, one on 5 and one on 3" 
     srcset="my-image.svg"
/>

Can we test this somehow? And wouldn't that mean we'll have to embed two images all the time?

I guess only by sending this out to an actual account.

Yes. If compressed the overhead of the logo as SVG shouldn't be that large.

at least for macOS and iOS I'd inline the svg, since both will initially not load <img> source
