You are missing my points

First, if you read back to my original comment you will see that I am not criticizing the (useful) separation of universe and multiverse, but rather advocating that the install itself should tell new users of their existence, how, and why they might want to search and access them.

Regarding arial, that is one of the Microsoft fonts that is non-free and has to be installed in a special way to deal with the special licensing. It is indirectly part of multiverse, not something installed by default. I mentioned it as an example of something there a regular use might well want for their desktop.
