Yes, you can even put `color: currentColor` in your SVG file and then color it exactly the same way as your fonts (it'll use the current text color).
Why not? I don't know, you're asking the wrong person, I use a CSS font too. My reasons are (a) last time I looked into putting SVGs into a sprite-map to avoid 1000 HTTP requests it was a shitshow (not well supported), and (b) Chrome and other browsers would sometimes align the SVG on a half-pixel causes the edges to be a little blurry, whereas fonts get special treatment to ensure they are crisp. That was years ago tho.
