The main reason is that there are smalle details involved. For instance,
math times uses a different font size for math roman than text roman, while
cmr uses the same (normally). Also, some fonts have design sizes, some
haven't. Some symbols should obey math shifting, some text shifting. [i
leave encoding, which differs per font] .Actually, what is tex's default
behavior? TeX does not have a concept of a body font, that's up to the
macro package. TeX in itself has nothing defined at all, that happens in
plain, which ie very cmr dependent.
