That's kinda the point of these font stacks right!? You want to fall back to the default sans-serif font only if you didn't some better font first.

  Better? Better than the default? So… you think your font of choice would be better than what the user had configured as the default in their user agent?

    If the site cares about such things, then yes.

    If the user wants their styles to take precedence, that’s what UA override stylesheets are for. Defaults are not overrides. Defaults are fallbacks, for sites that don’t care.

  That's not how I see it. I see it as not trusting that the default is good looking so we'll list a bunch of good-looking fonts with the hope that we get a hit and the browser doesn't use an ugly default.
