Is there any commandline tool that can remove transforms from an SVG file (or rather apply the transforms), translating all coordinates to stay in place?
This is one of the thing that none of the most well-known SVG cleaning tools (svgo, svgcleaner, etc) handles, as far as I understand.
In other words, I would like to go from something like this:
<g
transform="matrix(0.9,0,0,0.99,650,280)"
>
<path
d="M591,1037 L589,1044 ...
>
</g>
to something like this
<g>
<path
d="M204,503 L321,403 ...
>
</g>
...or from something like this:
<path
transform="matrix(0.9,0,0,0.99,650,280)"
d="M591,1037 L589,1044 ...
>
to something like this
<path
d="M204,503 L321,403 ...
>

For reference, there is an old, unmaintained Inkscape extension that does this: Apply Transforms)
Stack Overflow question, with tips on how to do this in Inkscape (through the GUI), including a note that this used to be possible with svgo: Removing transforms in SVG files
Open ticket at the svgo repo: Please add the option to flatten transforms #624
