I don't think this is an oversight. There's a limited amount of fonts that screams "computer" on TV, and the VGA font is one of them. Topaz ain't. I guess we're lucky that they stuck with the somewhat low resolution, or we'd have gotten the numero uno of FakeUI fonts: OCR-A
HTML happens a lot these days when you want to show the "inside" of a system, for obvious reasons, it's just the modern equivalent of assembly/hex editors, and the most likely "internal view" a contemporary user might actually have encountered. And, weirdly and sadly enough, it's about to get even more true.
