This is not a problem with web fonts, since the page author is the same person who is specifying the fonts available and the fonts requested.

Therefore, it’s only a problem with installed fonts. Which operating systems only include bold versions of preinstalled fonts?

Users installing fonts at all is rare. Users installing only the bold version of a font is rarer still.
