Slightly tangential, is there any chance this is motivated by profit or someone making money off this?

Otherwise, seems kinda benign and random.

It's probably to ensure people keep talking about "woke" which tends to be good for the right.

Its exactly this. Choosing a font that makes things easier for disabled people, and those with limited sight is far too “woke” for 2025.
