You can have a consistent design language without creating your own font though.

Yeah, I think web sites that insist on having their own fonts are being a bit narcissistic. The user should have the fonts that are pleasing to their eyes installed and their browser should use them. Web sites insisting they know better have too many people doing design. Go ahead and cut that cost, we won't notice.
No, I highly disagree. There's nothing narcissistic about wanting to choose the fonts for your site.

Of course wanting to create your own font is another level, but there's nothing wrong about wanting to choose the font on your site.
