Eh, all you're really saying is "I'm not using CSV. Instead I'm using my CSV." Except that's all that anybody does.
CSV can just as easily support escaping as any other format, but there is no agreement for a CSV format.
After all, a missed escape can just as easily destroy a JSON or XML structure. And parallel processing of text is already a little sketchy simply because UTF-8 exists.
