Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-fonts] Making the font matching algorithm more prescriptive for local fonts (#11753)

> Proponents of the small web movement would disagree with that.

For widely supported languages sure, text is still readable even if no fonts are specified at all. Preinstalled fonts can be listed (but won't be available on all platforms because no single font is available pre-installed on every single platform). But that means they aren't being _relied on_.

If new content is being created and it _can't be read_ without some specific font which is pre-installed on some platforms, then it is not cross-platform. Referencing a webfont makes it cross-platform.
