Reading the relevant court decision actually showed enough technical understanding by the judge to make a balanced decision.

The reasoning was that as it is so very easy to self host Google fonts and with caching as an argument gone there is actually not enough reason anymore to use the hosted version by Google and transmit PD to Google.

Would the site have used a foundry that didn't offer self hosting the reasoning might have turned out differently if the site owner could have made a strong argument for using this specific font by this foundry.

At least that was my reading but IANAL.
