The charitable version is that when PCs (I'll include the Macintosh in that category) were the dominant way people used computers, the average person struggled to use them effectively, often misconfiguring them or installing malware. I had hoped the fact that pretty much everyone born after the mid 1980s grew up with computers would help, but it didn't.
Mobile OS makers wanted to create systems that were harder to break so people wouldn't have be stuck with devices they couldn't use or expose their data to criminals. They did so in part by limiting the feature set. Vanilla Android won't connect to ad-hoc wifi networks despite huge user demand on their bug tracker. Google locked the issue without explanation.
I'll admit I haven't really thought about installing Fonts on Android despite my eagerness to customize it in other ways (I have root on all my devices). None of the things I do with an Android device require it, and heavily customizing the look and feel of the OS doesn't interest me.
Valid points! Like I was saying to some others, I don't really need a setting to go into and say here's my own fonts, but I don't like that it's not even doable (unless you know how to backdoor it?)
By the way, thank you for that link!!! That article is insightful as well as reminding me that there are other people who think exactly like I do; I was thinking it's like I could have written it myself, it's so in-line with how I think and what I complain about! I practically gushed when he made the CSI:NY reference without drawing attention to it.๐
