Layered .svg export in Adobe Illustrator

Hello,

When I export an illustration from Adobe illustrator (2021) to single .svg format, all layers are grouped.

I need the layers to be intact so that when I open the .svg in other illustration applications, the layers are intact and visible as multiple layers.

Is there an option to get this in Adobe Illustrator 2021 ?

I'm pretty sure the answer is no. What other applications are you using to open the SVGs?

If I open the illustrator extracted .svg in CorelDRAW X, I can see that all the layers are grouped into one and when we check this file in notepad, the x, y co-ordinates of the texts in the illustration are not available. This makes it impossible for us to read & process the .svg in our standalone applications.

Whereas the .svg extracted from CorelDRAW has these details when checked in notepad. Refer below attached screenshots.
