Kerning lets letters be spaced more uniformly, which is easier to read for most of us.

It also allows letters to crowd each other like friends in a wacky group photo, a tree overhanging a sidewalk, or a cat's tail doing its weird contortions. Fonts are fun.

It’s worth the trouble I think, but there are options if you’d rather not support it.
