Surprised I didn't see that point mentioned: If you self-host Fonts ("Google Fonts" is ultimately just a collection of open source fonts) it's one less thing to care about regarding privacy laws, sharing data with third parties and potentially having to justify due to GDPR etc.

From the post: “That leads nicely into the privacy implications of using third-party CDNs. You have no idea what sort of tracking they are doing to your users by using them, rather than self-hosting. And recent legislation means a lot of sites have to explicitly list all the cookies used on the site, which gets more complicated when using a third-party.“
