There's more and more good fonts being made available under the SIL licence - think MIT/BSD licence for fonts (https://openfontlicense.org/open-font-license-official-text/ https://openfontlicense.org/open-font-license-official-text/). The selection on google fonts should be good enough for anyone who doesn't want to go as far as hiring a design agency.
It's like the choice between some DRM-based "only works on our brand of device and only when connected to the internet" form of music, or legally acquired MP3s.
