According to <https://manpages.debian.org/bullseye-backports/inkscape/inkscape.1.en.html>, inkscape only writes an image to standard output if you specify two options: --export-type=whatever and --export-filename=- . With no arguments, I see no reason to expect that it would write anything into your ~/foo file. Assuming that's what you're actually asking about, and not visible terminal output.
