The problem is the HVIF uses concepts that don't appear in other formats like 
SVG in order to reduce the size - reusing paths and shapes for example. That is 
also why Icon-O-Matic is not a simple vector drawing application.

One could automatically translate SVG to HVIF I suppose, with one new path for 
everything drawn, but really Haiku icons should be tweaked for HVIF, and that's 
why having the import into Icon-O-Matic, tweak to best use the reuse features 
of HVIF, and then save out as HVIF, is the best approach IMHO.
