Well,
The stats says the majority of the Snap users are on Ubuntu 18.04 and
though I do not have stats on the used JDK, but I guess they are still
using either OpenJDK 1.8 or OpenJDK 11 LTS. So I feel for the majority
of the users who do not really care what is in the netbeans.conf
Grayscale anti aliasing is still better than the ugly fonts.
The font fix is already backported to 11.0.6 version of OpenJDK which is
scheduled for early 2020. I think this setting can go away with Apache
NetBeans 12.0. Till then you still have the opportunity to overwrite
these settings in your custom netbeans.conf as described in:

the correct incantation to start the installer that way as well?
Do you set that system property because you prefer grayscale
anti-aliasing over subpixel rendering in general? Or are you not
seeing the following JDK 12 font fix on your system?
OpenJDK FreeType font fix for Debian & Ubuntu

See the "before" and "after" screenshots for the difference the fix
made to the default font rendering:
https://github.com/jgneff/openjdk-freetype#system-freetype-library
You can run the project to see how your system is rendering that
particular font (Source Code Pro).
Thanks,
John
