I can't understand, in particular, why anyone would use the Liberation or Deja Vu serif fonts any more, for anything.

Because some of us like the look of them. I wouldn't dream of using Deja Vu for print, but for screen use (particularly, web browsing), the serif version gives very clean, easy to read text. For print, I'm rather fond of Day Roman, but it's not great on screen.

It's true that the Deja Vu fonts are good on a low-resolution and monochrome displays.
