In tons of enterprise and just general office settings, you'll be given a CSV file, rather than a database dump. Heck, even scientific lab equipment will output CSV for you. It's basically the lowest common denominator for all kinds of tabular data.

So anything that makes using CSV files easier with your product is likely going to be a welcome change for a lot of people.

Realistically, your database engine can probably ingest the CSV file in a simple import statement, so you're likely 98% done already with this. :)
