Yes.
Security and privacy come at the expense of other things. It's not totally unreasonable to prioritize them though.
It would limit creativity, but not by very much.

We keep suggesting things like limiting use of fonts as a polyfill for not being able to create legislation or what not. How about not exposing the available fonts to the browser through JS? If the font is not available, it should silently regress through options listed in CSS or browser defaults. JS can request a font, and it can be used if available. If it's not available, JS shouldn't need to know about it.
