Comment:
For the performance concern, Google Fonts now supports `font-display`
natively. For patch which implements this for the core themes, see #47282.
It turns out that Google Fonts serves a wide array of font files depending
on the user agent making the request. Different browsers and operating
systems get different font files that are tuned for their environments. I
learned about this recently myself. If it weren't for this content
negotiation then bundling woff2 font files would make sense to me.
