Comment (by TwentyZeroTwo):

 @ocean90 makes sense.

 I think myself and a lot of other devs who use WordPress in an agency
 setting (themes specific use-cases/clients and not for market place) will
 likely hold off adopting `theme.json` use. Saying that, I will install the
 gutenberg plugin and try more of these features out as overall
 `theme.json` is a brilliant new feature.

 Out of interest, why was the decision made to disable the default editor
 font in WordPress when `theme.json` is active? If core doesn't support
 setting `fontFamily` yet without the plugin, then it seems a little odd to
 dequeue the editor font-family with no way to define the new family.

 I would also argue this is a docs enhancement as users reading
 https://developer.wordpress.org/block-editor/how-to-guides/themes/theme-
 json/ are not informed that the default family is dequeued, as that
 information is only available on
 https://make.wordpress.org/core/2021/06/25/introducing-theme-json-in-
 wordpress-5-8/.
