If a user doesn't specify a font, it's good to have a fallback. Some apps won't allow you to edit font properties without specifying a font-name.
For example, Tilix (#11) requires both a font-name and font-size to be set in the same setting. Although the default is Monospace, that font is not guranteed to be installed.

<key name="font" type="s">
<default>'Monospace 12'</default>
<summary>A Pango font name and size</summary>
