I wish people in general could get used to the idea that not everything is designed with them in mind, and they might not be the intended audience.
If privacy is your number one priority and you absolutely can't have Google "spying" on you, then a lot of software and websites probably just aren't for you.
Instead, they bombard people who are doing great things for free, making them make little changes to please them instead of great changes that could please most people.
I'd be less critical of them if they were submitting PRs instead of just bug reports.
So, they did submit a PR (which is great!), but it wasn't acceptable to the maintainer. Other things were suggested, but none of the PRs met the requirements, and so none were accepted.

See, this is what's bizarre to me about this particular problem - the kind of people who (1) worry about these types of things and (2) are running CLI software from Github should be capable of figuring out how to implement the feature(s) they want and submit pull requests instead of opening issues. This is FOSS software, the price of entry is $0, so I don't get how people think they're entitled to any particular feature without implementing it themselves, especially features as marginally-useful as not requesting fonts from Google.
