I understand part of the frustration - but in case of e.g. GNOME, the theme clearly specifies a font as part of the css properties and the branding defines a default font. That one being required sounds plausible (especially considering how often the recommendation of --no- recommends is being copied around)
Part of the design of CSS is the precept that the user has ultimate control, for a11y and u9y reasons, if not basic respect. Hard requires violate the precept. Branding via fonts should never be a hard requirement in a public project. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science. Team OS/2 ** Reg.
