That's not a correct summary of the arguments.

Arguments against:

- rarely used
- we should be really selective on what fonts we bundle
- we should rather implement a way to download recommended fonts

Arguments for:

- Google sponsored the work, so Google must have some statistics on the use of
these fonts that we can't access (this is the reason I did my own investigation
based on crash testing corpus)

Nobody is saying that Google's involvement would be a negative. Google
sponsoring an alternative to Aptos would be welcomed with open arms.
