Each origin has its own cache, so it doesn't matter if you load your fonts from the same place as some other site -- they won't be shared.

Yes but that added inefficiency is also a result of adtech abusing the font cache for tracking. Which led to the need to isolate sites.

Additionally - when everything is served from the same server - existing connections can be re-used, resulting in a latency advantage.
