I agree with that... But one of the reasons why some fonts are available with the system a not any other the user can sideload, could be based on some things that could happen with "special" books. Some books (I rembember the last one I built, both print and ebook) had "special symbols". Based on my tests I could not find a problem with system fonts, but it could happen with sideloaded fonts.
You can force the font in that particular book so the user can not use another one, but I prefer to let them choose the available fonts in every device... I love serif fonts, some people love sans... there's no need to force someone to read with a font he/she doesn't like... as long as the system fonts have those glyphs.
After 8 years dealing with ebooks I have something clear: there's never goning to be a "one size fits all" solution. Because we all think differently
