A vector illustration is going into a system that only accepts JPEG, typically a print portal, a job board or a marketplace upload.
The vector is rasterised at a chosen size and then JPEG-compressed. Two lossy steps in one: resolution is fixed, and then detail is approximated by the DCT.
JPEG has no transparency, so an SVG with no background rectangle lands on white. Worse, vector art is mostly flat colour and hard edges, which is the content JPEG handles least well; you will see ringing along every stroke unless you export large and at high quality.
For flat vector art, almost always. PNG keeps the edges exact and often produces a smaller file than a high-quality JPEG of the same illustration.
Set the export width. The SVG has no inherent pixel size, only a viewBox and an aspect ratio, so something has to choose the resolution.

JPEG Image is lossy, so the quality control decides the trade between size and fidelity.
Instant, because the file never went anywhere. Nothing expires, since nothing was stored.
