Absolutely, especially with the recent "invention" of the native font stack as a solution that does not require loading external files while showing a nice modern font. Imagine if the trade-off was more explicit to the visitors: would you want something that made your web browsing slower, your text flashes in like a cheap powerpoint slide, and sent your data to Google, in exchange for being able to read in a different font? External web fonts are purely for the ego of the web developer, not for the reader.
