Inkscape shouldn't be including this, but just an fyi since you say you were shocked by this: many apps include such metadata in their default save formats.
The main distinction with Inkscape is that most apps have a proprietary save format which you are less likely to publish publicly. Inkscape's use of an open standard for their default metadata-rich save format means that metadata often gets published.
Still, I do think the trove of metadata many apps leave in their files is probably unnecessary and should definitely be addressed (in all apps, including Inkscape).
