XML is a superior format to Json or yaml or any of those other trendy formats around today. It's the hill I'm willing to die on because I'm right.

From my point of view : it has a hudge ecosystem with tons of robust libraries. This does not make it perfect, but for an industrial point of view, you don't look for new shiny clean things. (My point of view is 15 years old yet...)

I think JSON is more robust than XML by now. Mostly due to its simplicity. There are few reasons why anyone would pick XML over JSON these days.
