Right.
But when you also try to make something which:
- Works the same when you move an image between multiple platforms
- Should be small in size (the DejaVu fonts shipped with 1.0 to satisfy 
#1 takes ~4MB zipped, 9 unzipped )
- Runs reasonably on slower machines
Providing TrueType fonts by default might not still be the best default 
(although the support for using them is not removed)

So as always, it's a trade-off.
