Performance.  Believe it or not, breaking fields at the delimiter is
a significant factor in COPY speed.

True, but just for 5% to 10% degradation here.
For RDBMS, correct indexes and good logical design we are talking about 10 times or more performance gains.

Who cares about 10% waste here? Is it Oracle and other commercial RDBMS no such limitation.
