TLDR: it isn't really used, allows for code execution, and is old enough that it wasn't designed with real threats in mind.
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
