Why is viewBox stripped (by default)?

[avwie]

In the settings for SVGO, the viewBox is stripped by default? What is the reasoning behind this, because it breaks proper scaling. I have difficulty to understand why the viewBox should be stripped in the first place? I have never encountered a situation where I didn't want the viewBox.

Hello @avwie, you should ask SVGO team about that.

That is weird, why should I ask them? It is just a library feature of SVGO. Why have you enabled it as default behavior in SVGR, breaking proper scaling? That is the question. It is just a setting of SVGO, but you opted to enable it by default. The question is why? Is there something I am missing?

I don't want to override the default from SVGO. So I rely on SVGO default in SVGR.

You can add a SVGO config.
