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.
