Yes, it would have been better if SVG was designed on top of something simpler; and this something simpler could be implemented by browser developers. Probably, such an approach is more secure too. But, I guess it is too late now.

I imagine they could implement it on top of Canvas/WebGL.
Like https://github.com/canvg/canvg (which AFAIK doesn't do hit testing like 'real' SVG, but is a promising start).
