Most people who embed svgs aren’t looking to make them interactive though. I think I’ve attached event handlers to internal elements in an svg maybe once in my entire career.

Things like the sparkline charts on npmjs (e.g. https://www.npmjs.com/package/npm ) are interactive SVGs. I think they're pretty common for data visualizations of all kinds

Sure, but data visualisations make up a tiny percentage of websites.

That’s a great example of what I’m talking about: it would be the perfect place to bring in a react-svg module. Vast majority of sites don’t use sparkline so the SVG stuff is unused.
