You missed quoting "no" in "no foreground color is specified in the SVG
file".  So the difference is that in one case the SVG files specifies
the foreground color, in the other case it does not.

Also, note that I'm not proposing any change.  I'm only describing the
current behavior.

I fail to see any exaggeration.

I've attached two screenshots of the customize buffer using the
"tsdh-dark" theme, one in Emacs 27 and the other one in Emacs 28.
