Not sure why one would use JPEG for a little digital icon anyway. It is indeed only acceptable for photos. SVG is a good choice for icons, PNG or WebP for other digital content.

Yes! for a bit of backstory, it was an internal icon on a prototype that we were polishing up. So I get why the person did it at the time, running after the svg would have been too much effort for something that might have been tossed in the end.
