Just brainstorming here, why can't we have "browser fonts" shipped with the browsers?

There's serif, sans-serif, monospace,... That's more than enough to present any content.
Those fonts are not guaranteed to support OpenType features like small caps. This alone makes them inadequate for a lot of content.
Even better: we have OS fonts shipped with the OS, also users can install additional fonts for all the applications to use.
