The main benefits of having a static only vector graphics language would be for the area that traditionally came under the profession of technical drawing and may now be done by the engineers themselves. The problem there is that technical drawing used to be a low status profession and most companies are more concerned about marketing than development. Another area is run of the mill business graphics, over which there isn't a lot of artistic control. Brochure type graphics probably are done by artists, but they are generally only qualitative. (Fine art is likely to have some element of maths, though, e.g. vanishing points for perspective.)
