Gruber’s deeper point is that Apple is so particular about design and design standards. Apple has their own typeface. So having this slip through is, jokingly, a fire-able offense.
It’s actually not about font snobbery, but about mocking Apple about their design standards.
It’s a joke, not sure why people are taking it so seriously.
As I'm forced to use an Apple computer for work from time to time (fortunately rarely), I do not understand how anyone can claim for Apple to have any standards. Especially when it comes to "design". Fonts look blurry and washed out everywhere. I don't care about the usual excuses, it is ugly ugly ugly...
