why not use inputFiles and maybe optional outputFile like other plugins? why is there special conditions for svg and fonts?

Can you give me an example of this use-case? From my experience if you have a file file called app.css you would want the name to stay the same but the url references to change to base64 strings.

why is there special conditions for svg and fonts?

I assume you are refering to this

For the font case you need to prefix the base64 string with application
For the svg case it needs to handle svg fonts or images
