Are there any situations where orthogonality is not optimal?

Popular data reduction techniques, such as SVD or PCA map/project high-dimensional data to a lower-dimensional representational space, where the dimensions are mutually orthogonal. … Are there any situations where applying SVD or PCA to have the assurance of orthogonality is not just the best thing to be doing? …
