Are you really going to compare a technology like SVG that was supported by IE9 (and lower with a plugin) with one only just supported by the Blink engine May, 2022 in Chrome 101?
For all intents and purposes with regard to web development, fonts have been monochromatic (except for emojis). Any with sufficient knowledge gathered over decades can write/edit an SVG in the editor of their choice, graphical or textual.
How does one edit their own color font? Can you do it in a text editor? Do most font editing programs support it? Or were you speaking of fonts purely as a consumer rather than a producer?

Font folks also really underestimated how much people like having access to graphics with more than one color.
They didn't: https://fonts.google.com/knowledge/introducing_type/introduc... (is that a good idea for icons, not sure though)
