But, not all of the classes use Computer Modern as the default typeface. (Yes, the majority do). The Tufte classes, for example, make use of Palotino/Helvetica/Bera Mono.
Seems that you misunderstood me. A document class defines how a document should look, e.g. if the title uses a sans serif font in size "huge". What font you are using for sans serif is your decision. (Tufte is an exception because it doesn't follow the common document class rules. Tufte hardcodes almost everything so that you are limited in changing the layout.)
KOMA-script doesn't hardcode things. When you create a KOMA-script document and set in LyX the fonts to "default" you get usually computer modern for the fonts. But note that the default font depends on the settings of your LaTeX-distribution. It is possible that the default fonts are set to Latin modern or CM super instead of Computer modern. So when you want to have a certain font, you should select one in the LyX document settings.
