Microsoft deviated from the specification

There is no specification for CSV, which is why it's such a mess and different parsers and renderers have wildly different features. The closest thing to a spec is RFC4180 but that RFC simply describes the most common features across several CSV implementations, and is not actually a spec.

I agree that it should be comma separated though. My understanding is that it caused issues in countries that use a comma as a decimal point.

Also, Excel sometimes uses tabs rather than commas or semicolons.
