It's more of just their personal classification of the software than anything in my reading.
That said, Inkscape can default to save in SVG, can actively contribute to the SVG standard, but still be / come across as primarily a vector image editor.
What is missing for you to call it an svg editor? Like, you can even inspect and modify the raw svg tree directly from the UI while you edit your document in inkscape.
