Most people probably have completely default fonts, right? Doesn't seem like much of an identifier anyway

Depending on the browser new fonts can be downloaded and installed automatically. I'd bet most people have a lot more than just the default fonts that came with their OS installed.
Automatically installed fonts don't give much of a signal if they are automatically installed on everyone's machines.
A small list of websites that install their custom fonts can cause you to picked out of a crowd even when other things (like your IP) change. The centralization of the internet probably helps a bit here, but I'm guessing that most people go to smaller websites at least occasionally rather than just spending all their time on a handful of social media sites.
