The point is that copying or hosting the font shouldn't be what is copyrightable. It should be use. Most commonly used fonts should be pre-installed. Only for the very weird situations should the browser resort to downloading the font and, in my opinion, should do it in a way that is not trackable.
The way we currently download third-party fonts exposes the content that we're viewing to the font hoster. That's really stupid. If we need to download from a third party it shouldn't be in the same browser context. I.e., the party shouldn't be able to execute arbitrary JS or see the document Origin.
