This. Is. A. Bug. It's that simple.

By this logic the Kobo eink screens not rendering full color is a bug.
I can put a color image into an ebook, in fact many ebooks exist in multitudes of formats which already have color images. Far more so than ebooks which require or even use monospace.
There are color eink screens available in various levels of quality.
There are devices which properly display the image in full color.
But it's not a bug.
Also you can rant on all you like, but your own words prove you wrong, last I checked recommended did not mean required, it did not imply you had to do anything. All it means is the feature is suggested to be included.
And thus far you've shown no evidence that it must be done, while others have shown evidence that it's at most suggested.
You are thus calling the lack of an optional feature a bug when its omission was a choice. While also trying to shoehorn in that content creators shouldn't have to make a choice to embed a font to ensure their content is displayed how they want it to be.
