While possibility is another question entirely, from a design standpoint I can definitely see why an app might want to bundle the font together with the rest of the package. It guarantees a homogeneous user experience.
for the end-user? nope, because this application doesn't look like the rest of their applications, and ignores their preferences.
for the developer? yes, because their application will look the same regardless of platform it's deployed on.
But as we've learned with Responsive Design, having a single "my way" of presenting an interface regardless of end-user preferences and device capabilities is a Bad Thing. Interfaces need to be configurable by the user not fixed by the designer.
I like the font, though. Makes my code look sexy, and that's hard to do ;)
That ship sailed long ago. I fired up the mail client in windows 10 for the first time in a while yesterday and it had this weird galaxy background. It looked like an access app an amateur would throw together.
System native doesn't neccesaraly mean high quality or standards compliment. Take windows control panel as an app which still has zero effort put into standardisation, I get that it's pretty much a dead man walking but they could at least try polish it up.
