Part of it is just because it's easier. There's a bootstrap theme I've used that relies on a Google font. Rather than package the font, which would require extra work on the webdev's part to serve locally, they just stuck a CDN URL in the css.

But the webfont is not crucial to website UX as a blocking 3rd-party <script src="..."> without async/defer in <head> is.
