Resummarizing bug to match the original request and moving to a possibly
correct component (it's really split between the style system and gfx). (If
you want a bug about using gnome's font size as well, as comment 7 suggests,
that should be filed as a *separate* bug report, although we're unlikely to do
it. Please avoid further discussion of that issue here.)
I'm also not sure how well this proposal would work across languages; there may
be some language groups that really do prefer defaulting to serif rather than
sans-serif, I think, but is GNOME's default always sans, and isn't
language-group-specific? (If it's locale-specific, that's even worse; I'd
really prefer that English Web pages display the same by default on any locale
system, and likewise for Japanese Web pages, etc.)
Given the amount of work involved (relative to the amount of benefit, which
seems to me only questionably positive), this doesn't seem like a particularly
high priority to me.

Not really. The U+FB00-... code points aren't mandatory for the fi ligatures
(just like it's not mandatory to use the Arabic presentation forms for
contextual forms of Arabic letters). These code points are there for
compatibility reasons with legacy encodings.
Also, there are much more possible Latin ligatures that don't have reserved
code points, like fb, fh, fĺ etc.
