I just noticed something very odd while poking around Big Sur. While this might not be new, it was the first time that I’d noticed that the version of Monotype Baskerville included with macOS includes support for Roman, Greek, Cyrillic, and Deseret.
This last one has me genuinely perplexed. If someone says "we've got Latin, Greek and Cyrillic, let's pick one more" what would possess someone to pick Deseret? From a cost/benefit standpoint this simply makes no sense to me....
Possible explanations?

From Wikipedia: "All computers running Microsoft's Windows 7 operating system or newer can display the entire Deseret alphabet Unicode range as the glyphs are included in the Segoe UI Symbol font."
