That's interesting.  But not exactly simple to create though.

Should there perhaps be a <conicalGradient> element for this conmon use
case?

Of course one can also draw a linear gradient and then apply a perspective
transform to that to get a conical one. If one were implementing such a
thing though, it would be nice to have a parameter which controls the
curvature of the side of the cone, such as one can do with <replicate>[1],
