Who is doing that? Certainly not the author. It sounds to me like you're taking the author's opinions as a personal affront, which seems... weird.

If you say it is a "terrible idea" that kind of implies that anyone who has the idea to add them to their font or use a font that supports it has made a terrible choice. At least, that's how I interpret it.

It's certainly not the most neutral phrasing.
