Look at a first year computer science student. He will already put prints in his programs and if he is smart and has a bigger assignment he might already start to write other programs to parse that output. You can't beat that, because it is nearly impossible for a newbie to even know that there might be a problem with text logging and that binary logging might be a solution. In fact he might not even know that what he does is called logging. But he is already doing it!

So even if binary logging is way better (I can't say, not enough experience) you simply can't beat text logging, because text logging is natural. It just happens.

print("Hello World!")
