But the alternative is to require custom configuration for every user -- consider a system supporting both Japanese and Korean users, there cannot be a single default 'sans' font which can optimally display both of these languages. Using LC_CTYPE gives the system a chance to select the right font without requiring customization. Even in western environments, it's easy to believe that the best font for German users will be different from that for Czech users; the coverage of preferred font for German might well be missing Z WITH CARON. I don't think I can discard this useful hint even though it will probably present "interesting" problems in some debugging situations.
