@Eyal Rozenberg:

I think you are right that my original arguments were not very strong. Let me
try again:

1. Most documents today are written, shared, and read on screens. They are
printed much less often than before. Because of that, I think a sans-serif font
makes more sense as the default. Serif fonts can still be a good choice for
books, long texts, or printed documents, but they do not have to be the
standard for every new document.

2. Microsoft Office has used a sans-serif font as its default since 2007, first
Calibri and now Aptos. Since Microsoft Office is by far the most widely used
office suite, many people are used to new documents having a sans-serif font.
Using Liberation Sans would therefore make LibreOffice documents look more
familiar and modern, while users who prefer Liberation Serif could still choose
it themselves.
