It's used quite a bit when people export out from vector applications like Illustrator. I found it useful to be able to open those EPS files on Preview and was a bit pissed off when that option silently disapeared from Preview in Ventura
SVG is so much better than EPS. Unfortunately you can't open them in Preview either.
You can in Safari

I have an old Brother HL-10H from mid 90s that’s still kicking using USB to LPT adapter and postscript driver. That thing is a tank, and isn’t likely to go any time soon. Guessing with this removal, it’ll also stop working when my last system upgrades to Sonoma and beyond?
This is still how we handle printers at work, this is about to become a nightmare
Its "ur Brother"
