For the last 39 years, PostScript has been at the heart of the Mac, bringing desktop publishing, fonts, and the LaserWriter and other printers. It has been removed from Sonoma.

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.
