I think it was likely a reaction to being entirely swamped with Charis when font-embeddding via KF8 first became possible. I swear everybody and their brothers were embedding Charis SIL shortly after that--from indie to big pub.
"We can include fonts now ... it's free ... and we're control freaks ... ship it!!"
The saturation level of Charis SIL was absolutely
insane there for a while. Nobody loves a font THAT much. It was like a big ol' monkey-see-monkey-do thing happening, I think.
