What makes it a horrible hack, as opposed to proper use of documented capabilities at a scale slightly larger than usual?

Putting animated SVG in a font [1] is a horrible hack; this one is benign.

A somehow larger stretch would be a font with a built-in spell checker, with a wavy underline under every letter that only disappears under correctly spelled words.

Agreed, that is even more horrible. And probably just for performance reason alone should never ever get close to a real world product. Still, quite neat.
