This is (I assume intentionally) a funny way of putting it. They
didn't have to be "unified", because they were never considered to be
distinct. It's hard to imagine why anyone would want to derive the
Latin alphabet by doing a new, independent survey of existing fonts
when everyone, even children, already know the alphabet.

In summary, I don't think readability has anything to do with it.
