I’m still very happy to see more high quality and free variable fonts. They save a few lines of code and a bit of network egress when self hosting fonts (for better privacy).

I thought variable width fonts were pretty heavy? I don’t think you actually save data over loading two separate weights. The savings come in later (3+ weights)

It’s pretty easy to get to 3 weights, just by having normal, big and small in a page and/or site.

Also when trying to differentiate between the entire range of h1 to h6 type of headlines within the same font.

At least my own tendency is to use at least 3 different weights for most text and heading fonts.

But that may be just me…
