In addition the points above made by @clshortfuse, here's a specific example where this would be used for more than just font size. iOS has a system-wide setting to enable bold text*, which is reflected in the system weight. I don't have a preference for system-font versus env(), but all aspects should be ideally be retained.

Aside FYI, resetting the user's preferred font weight may be an anti-pattern. Legally blind users and contrast-deficient users often enable this setting to increase text contrast to more perceivable levels.
