I didn't know SVG had CSS support. That's great, but I fail to see your point.
A table serves a different purpose than a div, yet both are styled in the CSS.
A paragraph serves a different purpose than an image, yet both are
styled in the CSS.
A blockquote serves a different purpose than a submit button, yet both
are styled in the CSS.
SVG and Canvas serve different purposes, yet the both have style, and
both should be supported by CSS.
Except that there is a slight difference between a declarative element
and a programmatic one.
SVG being declarative, it has an actual DOM tree with elements and
attributes that can be affected using CSS.
The Canvas element itself can be styled with CSS ( borders, size,
outlines, background, ... ) but what is done in the CanvasContext does
not end up in the DOM tree and therefore their styling can not be
affected using CSS.
