The gasp table isn't a suggestion, it's a requirement. Fonts render incorrectly
if the gasp table isn't followed.

As an end user, I would prefer my fonts to render correctly instead of
incorrectly.

If you're suggesting that I should configure this manually in some fontconfig
XML file for each font individually, I'm going to state right here that you are
completely wrong.
