It's a website hosted by Vercel, it's not made by Vercel. As far as I can tell it's just someone's project published without much thought given to legal issues. Try contacting them maybe https://github.com/pheralb/svgl/issues

"published without much thought given to legal issues."
Indeed, with all these logos in the code/repository, I wonder how long this will last.

A collection of logos is clearly fair use. No one is purporting that these are anything other than the logo of whatever it is the logo of. Now if you started using these logos to misrepresent an affiliation or something, now that would be open you up to a civil lawsuit.
Don’t overthink this. If you needed a letter from a lawyer for every logo then Wikipedia wouldn’t have logos on every business page, and companies would often have press kits distributing high quality logos in various formats suitable for high quality replication.
