339 bytes which load an additional 241 bytes of CSS to load a 53k custom font...
What is the point people are trying to make with titles like this? It's like claiming "50 bytes to make a website" after you figure out that you can just iframe Google.

Or at least that's how I understood this. Not attempting to save the few kb of network traffic, rather trying to reduce the complexity and the amount of code one has to maintain in the future.
In general, the way I see it, relying on code and data from a third party at run-time is a liability. The code and data you no longer have to maintain is now impossible to audit because the vendor may replace it, stop providing the service, start using it for tracking etc. at any moment. It's code that you should be maintaining but can't.
