Through-hole parts tend to have more round shapes that would be much more expensive to accurately model with triangle meshes: cylindrical resistors, disc-shaped ceramic capacitors, etc.
STL seems to work fine for those shapes - your tool just chooses triangles that are long and skinny to accurately model the side of a cylinder for instance. The other formats are wanted just for interoperability and translation. VRML might do fine for that.
