I'm not suggesting that they don't. Perhaps you're parsing the sentence that you quote in a way that I hadn't intended. Try "In class A CTRs SVFR is the only option for visual flight even if the weather conditions are good". Better?
No...worse !! What do you mean by
"visual flight" ? there is no such thing as VFR in class A airspace.

If you have an IR, there's no licence privilege minimum vis, but a minimum visibility at the airport is usually required for a SVFR clearance to be issued (typically 1500 m).
Clearance to do what ? That's the confusing irrelevance.
Bookworm said:
I reckon SVFR is more commonly used by IR holders to circumvent equipment requirements or lengthy IFR procedures than licence privilege restrictions. But that's debatable.
Sorry Bookworm but you are obviously not a pilot.

PS Regarding spelling, the words "glasshouse" and "stones" spring to mind.
