Fonts are a lot more complicated than they appear. Font formats like TTF are binary executable. Basically that means a malicious font file installed can run commands on your system just by displaying what looks like the letter
m. Fonts are also processed through an interpreter engine that renders their physical display on screen. Interpreters are nortoriousy a vector of attack because of their low level system accessCheck out FontForge if you're interested in more
I'm not sure how much of what you're saying is accurate, but my iPhone has like thirty fonts. Android has five. I'm not asking for something unreasonable; I should be able to expect it and be surprised and disappointed that it's such a prohibitive notion.
All my Windows computers over the years have had hundreds of custom fonts I’ve installed. Never once had malicious code in a font, and that’s Windows - the biggest target for viruses.
I’m just saying by now it should not be considered superfluous or some kind of luxury, it should be considered expectable.
