> why not use fonts other than the handful of (imo) boring system fonts?

Ayup. I use Oxygen on pretty much everything because I really like how it looks and it's part of the distinctive style I impart to the stuff that I'm building. The number of users who have really strong opinions about fonts versus the number of users who either consciously or unconsciously appreciate a good-looking design is not a ratio in favor of caring about the former.

(Also agreed on performance; that's why I use one font family and use it from Google Fonts--because it caches.)
