I don’t think buckets of csv would be better, in fact I know it would be worse because you lose data types and in memory representation.



Can a CSV contain binary? I'm just thinking of the massive file size explosion of stringy'ing integers and floats (like those used for lat/lng coordinates for example)


yes, as long as you can "quote" binary data, you can put it in a CSV. Terrible idea though.
