png is better for drawings because it has lossless compression that 
works well for pictures consisting of sharp lines and areas of solid 
colour.  jpg's compression is lossy and reduces noise, which is good for 
photos - but it sees lines and sharp boundaries between colour areas as 
noise.  So drawings get blurred boundaries, fake shadows and ghosting.

What kind of drawing tool does not support png exports?  The format has 
been standard for bitmap drawings for over 25 years.

The main argument is for the quality of the picture, not the size of the 
file.
