Not so much the font, but the fact that it is omnipresent. He was ranting all about it back in the nineties, when he was promoting his own fonts, Officina and Meta, which share the same language of shapes. To my understanding, Meta was created as the “improved version” of Officina.

Just like you keep your perfectly circular glasses tucked away in your closet.

I assume there has to be some autonomity (made that word up) so they don’t have to handmake every character that has ever existed.
