? You mean TeX systems should only encourage the creation of
documents which uses only (free) fonts which are distribuated by a
TeX-System? 

Sorry but already with pdflatex quite a lot documents use
commercial/non-free fonts e.g. corporate fonts. And the majority of
xetex/luatex/context documents use system fonts. You only need to
look at the documentation of fontspec or at all examples sent to the
mailing lists/usenet groups and forums. 

Beside this: As far as I know with TeXLive xetex doesn't find otf
fonts in the texmf-trees with the default configuration. It can only
use otf fonts of the system. So you must use system font lookups ...
