Why does the svg icon have an image attribute when exporting from Photoshop?

Question

SVG

Good afternoon.
I export the icon from Photoshop as svg, as a result I get the svg tag, and inside the image tag.

<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" width="16" height="16" viewBox="0 0 16 16">
  <defs>
    <style>
      .cls-1 {
        opacity: 0.3;
      }
    </style>
  </defs>
  <image id="login.svg" class="cls-1" width="16" height="16" xlink:href="data:img/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAABAAAAAQCAYAAAAf8/9hAAAAyUlEQVQ4jYWTzQrCQAyEv5biL3gX9B0EPXnwID67V6+CzyB4UBRqqUxJQdpNOlC2Jcl0JslmdV3jIANOwNjeu/jqKbxqg1csqLaIFAhzIAe6SfreA5MhBa8gJgsNu4cpsAzi+RDBG9gBm0hiYU3KHJ8lsLb4xSM42pnqZtujlZ09EiXMIol/WKSUiuAczHoLjICn5fVUiuAe/FXFDyuuUgnRHmiMN+Aa+YrG+BkobuxEBOGOt32LLCjhYFZSO6KLFhIIGrGXUwHlD0DMJrAktGJgAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC"/>
</svg>

Here is a link to the file https://www.dropbox.com/s/gsjmqjv7bb6u65s/login.sv... Is
this a design flaw, or are my hands crooked?
Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

photoshop is not a vector editor
svg - vector format
So if you need to make svg from a picture - you need to vectorize it. Use Abode Illustrator or InkScape

Answer 2

Exported the smart object to a file and opened it in illustrator.
I finally realized.
This wonderful designer inserted the icons into Photoshop not as svg, but as illustrator ai files, that's where the dancing with tambourines comes from.
