Yes, agreed you don't ask for a clearance in Class G (or need to, there's no-one to ask) but the "let out" clause which allows us to make a "visual contact flight" under IFR in Class G is effectively under exactly the same terms as an SVFR clearance for the other, controlled types of airspace.
Read the words in the ANO and the second paragraph of my previous.
I used the parentheses around my use of the phrase "special VFR" deliberately because it isn't
really SVFR.
P.s. Very quick DFC, only twenty nine minutes
