Nobody wants to be responsible for introducing the security/performance nightmare that is SVG fonts into their codebase. SVG is too big and too unwieldy and does too much to make a good performant font rendering impl. Crucially, OpenType fonts already have their own custom vector format that authoring tools and renderers are used to working with, so this is a form of colored font support that builds on existing font principles instead of stapling an entire SVG renderer inside of it.
