Description
ImageOptim always removes the viewBox attribute from SVG images. It's necessary for predictable scaling in the browser. I can't think of a reason why I'd actually want to remove the viewBox attribute, especially as a default option. I don't think SVGO removes it by default. Can an option be added to keep it?

Research direction
Locate the SVG image optimization path and its option handling, then reproduce how ImageOptim currently removes viewBox. Check how SVGO treats the attribute and define completion as an option that preserves viewBox when enabled, with the default behavior made explicit.
