I'm not sure why you see a strict delineation. One of the few reasons most designers prefer purpose made graphic design tools is for the pen tooling. The other big one is color management. If Figma can nail both in a UI design tool there's no reason it can't be used for graphic design.

People already use Sketch for some graphic design despite its reeaaallly unimpressive path tooling, typography tooling, and color tooling.

Speeding up the 90% usecase goes a long way.

That said, I haven't actually seen Figma so maybe it really is more purpose built than I'm imagining.
