This argument doesn't always work. Often, the OS support for a particular
language is really terrible and we can and should do better even if it
means being inconsistent with the OS. This is certainly true for the case
of font shaping, for example.

Jesus called them together and said, “You know that the rulers of the
Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority
over them. Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among
you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your
slave — just
as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his
life as a ransom for many.” [Matthew 20:25-28]
