Now it's too late to change it.
Module purpose was "You should not do anything to allow to use svg image at your site"
And it stays as it is.
When saving a field that was originally created with image, before svg image was installed, the config changes dependencies and replaces image with svg_image. This module should provide a new formatter instead of overriding the core image formatter.
Another unintended consequence is that all image fields, whether or not they use the svg image settings, now have extra config that is not used.
This issue feels all too familiar since I created the Drupal 7 issue about the same thing https://www.drupal.org/project/svg_image/issues/2974731 β
Instead of overriding core, create a new widget.
This would break existing support for sites using the core image formatter with SVG. It would be best to release this as a new major version with an update path. One could scan for SVG files attached to entities and update the widgets on those that are known to use SVG.
