Subsetting the complete font is beneficial in situations where you are using a small number of obscure glyphs in a book. Eg if I had a book in English which contained Egyptian hieroglyphs.

Maybe you kindly ignored the part with the size of the font (472 mb)?
I certainly didn't ignore it, but downloading a subset of the font which contains the languages that the user commonly uses will be pretty pointless, because they're already going to have fonts on their device which contains those glyphs.
