The language from it "Open Source Scalable Vector Graphics Editor" does indeed double down on it with that text I pasted which breaks down the SVG acronym.
You guys need to set Adobe straight. All of these years they have been erroneously marketing Illustrator as "graphic design software" when apparently it is really just a ".ai editor"!
_Of course_ the core/native file format used by Inkscape, Illustrator, Powerpoint, etc. restricts each program's capabilities to those that can be represented by some data structure within the file. However, that is not at all how end users think about these programs. They categorize them by the sorts of things they do, and rarely if ever give a second thought to how the data is being organized within the files they save. Perhaps to some of the developers Inkscape is an "SVG editor", but to the vast majority of its users it is a "graphics editor" (or some variant on that term).
