I totally agree with you, but if you ever did freelancing as a web developer, you'll see many clients cling to their corporate identity principles (including font selection) way stronger than you may think.

If you spent several hundred thousand on a rebranding that comes with a very expensive font license, of course you want it to be used.
And frankly, it does make a difference.
Too bad those very expensive fonts never come with a decent web license and you end up going for a half-arsed substitute.
The problem aren’t necessarily fonts, but print-first design systems that don’t translate well to screens and interactivity.
