> SVG is firewalled off from js and css regardless of how you use it.

That's a weird claim, since most of my SVG customizations are done using CSS.

> SVG is so bad people have been using fonts instead (which are binary).

No they're not, SVG is far more popular than icon fonts, which has been in steady decline for years.

> And 99.9% of people who use SVG are doing it with illustrator or inkscape anyway

False again. SVG is a popular export format for myraid of desktop, mobile & online design & publishing tools and presentation software which I've used over the years, none of which were Illustrator or Inkscape. I've also hand edited lots of SVGs to customize it to look how I want, which isn't feasible for Icon fonts.
