They host scripts on CDNs and utilize Google fonts. On some networks, particularly air gapped intranets or offline locahosts, that won't work. By passing objective judgement on the contents of the list, you're dictating to the audience the factors that you think should be important to them rather than showing them all factors and letting them choose what they believe is important.
