It is sad to see this. It is the same reason that I refuse to use GTK3.

I hope that you can contact upstream to preserve bitmaps. Or at least compile a 
separate package with bitmap support.
The problem is that most TrueType fonts are rendered poorly unless you have a 
high-DPI/"retina" display, which most people do not have.
Also, remember that embedded devices usually have low-resolution screens (like 
128*128 or 64*64).
If you enable antialiasing you get blurry texts. If you disable antialiasing 
you get out-of-shape texts.
Bitmap fonts have no such problems because they are pixel-perfect and does not 
require antialiasing if a fixed font size is specified (which in most cases is).
Last but not least, bitmap fonts are easy to edit, unlike TrueType fonts.
Also, not everyone uses a DE like GNOME. I (and many people) use WMs like i3 
and TWM because they use fewer resources and has fewer distractions.
If I use a minimal WM and I use the terminal all day long, obviously I want the 
UI font to be the same as the terminal font.
