it might've been fixed for figures as its been a while, but shouldnt latex environments with #+caption: and #+name: above them be exported as figures? because currently the user has to write \begin{figure} and \end{figure} explicitly which would work but may not be as practical for other ox backends like html i think? perhaps im wrong.

Cannot reproduce.  I get the following:

\begin{figure}[htbp]
\centering
\includesvg[width=.9\linewidth]{/tmp/circuit}
\caption{\label{fig-switching-circuit-1}implementation of \(p\)}
\end{figure}

Perhaps you have customized the LaTeX export process in some way?  Also
note that we don't touch any of the LaTeX generation code in ox-latex
except the parts handling LaTeX preview images.
