We have never and will never ship a proprietary font to users who do not have one installed, and I think we should maybe make that an official policy if it isn't already. However, specifying better font families for users that already have them can and has improved the experience for millions of readers. Wikimedia projects and MediaWiki seem like dinosaurs, even within the FOSS community, by enforcing a standard of using whatever random sans serif a user has, and nothing more.
OK ... and the tradeoff of the designer assuming the non-free font, and it just happening to look like garbage with any free font?
