Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-fonts] `system-ui` behavior is undesired for some users (#3658)

Quite obviously, *any* font that has ”UI“ in its name is intended to be used for short labels etc. within the user interface and not for longer, multi-line texts. This applies equally to any such CSS keyword, `system-ui` in particular. Some typefaces, like Segoe, include separate fonts for use in UIs vs.  prose. If some CSS (framework) authors ignore this, the fault is theirs alone, i.e. it’s not the job of CSS specifications (nor browser / OS / font vendors) to fix it for them.
