If by default we create documents that hard-code fonts that are not available
(or have no metrically compatible version) on the majority platform - we really
hurt our users' ability to save in eg. PPTX and be reasonably sure that the
slides look at least similar on the other side of the divide. That would be a
problem (to me). We could of course use the newer Google C* compatible fonts
Carlito and/or Caladea - but I see these as the only other option for default
fonts in our bundled templates etc.
