So
they will convert the SVG to PNG

So sure, I could do these images up in SVG because I do agree that it's "better" (for devices that support it), but the difference in visible quality of the images that you see is virtually negligible

For a given resolution, yes. Actually, for a given resolution PNG can actually look better (you take care of resizing and aliasing, rather that the ebook renderer). But next year we get devices with 1000dpi resolution, and suddenly all your PNGs look tiny, while the SVGs look as good as ever.

so why on earth wouldn't I just go with PNG instead?

Future proof. Make SVGs for the sheet music, and keep the source files (MuseScore or whatever). If you are concerned about support, create PNGs from the SVGs, they'll look much better than the scans. If higher resolution is needed in the future, you can create PNGs at higher resolution (or use SVGs if your concerns are gone). If there's anything to fix (and sometimes the scans have mistakes too, or misprints, o misalignments...), it will be easy to fix in the source files.
