I agree that the fact that I must not forget to configure typefaces per language whenever I install a new browser, while for Chrome you must also install the "Advanced Font Settings" extension before it even becomes possible to choose e.g. a Japanese font, is annoying.

To avoid such configuration work when you prefer better looking typefaces instead of some standard system defaults would require a standardization of how to notify the applications about the association between certain typefaces and languages, e.g. by some environment variables or by some standard locations for the font files, depending on language.
