I think you and GP are in some ways saying the same thing. > But are fonts scarce? Are they scarcer than the attention required to use them? When do we say, "good job, that's enough fonts" and move on? You disagree about the idea of removing IP protections from fonts, but beyond that you seem to agree that Libre font collections may basically be Good Enough(tm) and that there might not be much of a need or justification to waste time thinking about the proprietary/commercial market at all. I do generally disagree with both ideas, I think people are a little too quick to dismiss the creative and functional value of new fonts, and I think that typography as a skill is generally undervalued in technical circles. But that disagreement aside, I didn't read GP's post as an argument that there's a pressing need to liberate fonts, just that to them it's not clear what copyright is even protecting here in the first place, given how little (again, to them) functional value that proprietary fonts provide.
