Well, your concept of what a base case would be obviously differs from what the Calibre developers and most of the users have. Most people seem to be happy with the way Calibre works. It does it's job well. Thus, the base design choices won't change anytime soon.

I selected Times New Roman from the font menu, leaving the text size at the default. If your browser can’t usably handle the most common real text font, you’ve got problems that transcend this discussion.
It may be the most commonly used font for printed text. For on-screen text, I've almost exclusively seen sans serif fonts. Apart from that, I personally find it annoying to see font changes in the midsts of a text, which is what your use of Times NR causes. Also, the font is being rendered at a smaller default size, which doesn't improve readability...
