It's an additional resource that needs to be requested, downloaded, and processed by the browser. While the processing will happen either remote or local, local system fonts don't need to be requested and downloaded which saves bandwidth and time (aka faster page load times).

EU rulings concerning GDPR and remote fonts.
>If the web font is loaded from the same host, the owner of the page does not violate any privacy rules than servicing you the page.
And in fact, this is suggested by the EU as a way to abide by GDPR while using remote fonts. The vast majority of remote font use cases are not served directly by the website, though. It's all a sad state of affairs.
>You may have experienced designers who are bad at their job, but it does not mean a good design, including using or not using web font, help deliver the function better.
Sure.
Thing is, in recent times I've experienced far too many terrible designs and I can't recall even one example of a good design.
User needs and desires aren't being considered by designers, so fuck it, I'm past the point of caring about throwing babies out with the bathwater. Throw them out, nothing of value will be lost.
>I welcome your view, despite how myopic it is, and I hope you live by your value, which means code using vim/emac, not using any GUI tools, and browse the internet using lynx the text internet browser.
The only thing myopic is your attitude. Good designs can exist, but when it comes to modern software design they've all turned horrible. The very fact you are trying to override user complaints with designer desires is indicative that you too consider form over function, which for a tool is nonsense.
I appreciate that you're a designer and an artist and you want to flaunt and exhibit your vision for all to see, and that's fine. Meanwhile, we've got shit to do and we need/want computers to enable us so we can get shit done, and your visions are getting in the way. So please save your passion for the art museum, tools are not avenues for artistic expressions.
