Microsoft Office (and Windows) changed the default font more than a decade ago.
Changing it back is the exact definition of performative work.
Edit: 19 years ago. Almost 2 decades ago!
That's very charitable--especially considering that leaving the font alone in the first place would have been the smaller option.
