		Mostly for branding nonsense I have tried some of the accessibility oriented easy to read fonts that are supposed to help with dyslexia but it's hard to justify that megabyte when I am also balancing accessibility of slow computers on bad networks

As part of the system font stack, we no longer need -apple-system or BlinkMacSystemFont to select the default font on Apple devices.

You want to use system-ui to select the platform's UI font, which is San Francisco on Apple devices. Availability is about 95% [1].
