The same argument could be stated for resizing SVGs unproportionately, as the
content is being updated. The original width to height ratio should be retained
for elements where retaining the ratio is the most probable action that a user
would like to do. So in the case of a chart, which to most users looks like an
image and we allow them to export it also as an image, sizing it proportionally
is the best default action.

Here is a simple example of an OLE object where proportionate resizing should
be its default.
1) Open Writer
2) Insert > Object > OLE Object
3) Select 'create from file' and press OK
4) Select a SVG or a spreadsheet file
5) Once inserted, resize it and do you expect it to do so proportionately or
unproportionately.
