There are hundreds of font files that have overlap. TeX Live will not
remove all their fonts, so there must be a way to have it coexist and
have flexibility on installation and deinstallation of fonts.

For most of these fonts the user is free to choose what to do via
package management. Only a few packages have unneeded dependencies on
fonts. birdfont is one of these.

Using font-config and fallback is the most elegant and dynamic way and
allows dropping the depency and also no more need for need for including
the TFF.
