I just disable webfonts by default myself. I wonder how common that is. I never felt that I missed anything, because let's face it: in 99% of the cases you jump on a website through search and leave it within 60 seconds.
I make exceptions for websites that I visit regularly, where the most frequent breakage is a custom font that packs icons. On websites that I frequently read for documentation I sometimes even swap the font to something that I prefer (by injecting a @font-face src:local rule).
Designer's choice of fonts are frequently lower in legibility and/or do not have good hinting (not at the same level of most system fonts). On non-retina displays the qualitative difference is sometimes staggering.

On non-retina displays the qualitative difference is sometimes staggering. This. Plus sometimes, for some reason, they choose hair-thin versions of fonts that are a pain to read even on (non mac) retina displays.
