Some writing systems like the Arabic script require ligatures for correct text rendering. I think supporting the third most widely used language worldwide is reasonable.

Also ligatures are optional, you aren't affected if you don't like the feature.

I was not aware of that, thank you.

I guess I'm surprised that such a crucial feature isn't standard in everything if you can't even properly display a common language like Arabic without it.
