I think there can be a good rationale for using Skia, or other good
external SVG libraries, considering the use case of the two SVG import
filters, which includes converting an SVG unchanged:
1) svgio: For Insert -> Image -> From File
2) filter/source/svg used to open SVG file
Quoting from Fernand:
From a users point of view:
Inserting a SVG-image in Writer, Calc or Impress must been done
"unchanged" because users will in 99% off all cases not edit a Image.
Opening in Draw is a different game where in most cases the user has the
intention tot edit a image and save back SVG or as a other format.

In this way, converting documents containing embedded unchanged SVG
files is an important use case, and it is meaningful to have a faster
conversion with more SVG features supported.
Any difference in handling of SVGs between Draw and Writer will be an
own bug.
Only use in icons could be really considered (as a "temporary" measure,
because indeed fixing svgio should make it eventually unnecessary), iif
its integration is not much of a work for someone volunteering for the task.
