There's a Knuth quote about how the aim of TeX was to allow anyone to create properly typeset documents. I can't find the exact source, but https://www.tug.org/whatis.html should give you some idea.

This individual wasn't able to. Last time I looked at TeX it (or metafont specifically) often seemed to default to bitmap fonts. That's a poor default - a bug by today's standards - but Knuth has a different definition of 'bug' than you and I do. Maybe you should spend less time judging users and more time working on improving the software you're advocating for?
