My experience has been that there is a certain type of developer who likes to flex by showing they have new/neat tools.
Not saying there is anything wrong with it, but for me it feels like to much of a distraction.

I don't even know what font I'm currently using, though I put some thought into choosing it at the time.
Some of us just care about what our fonts look like. I'm loving the configurator with Iosevka; yes, I'll likely spend an hour tweaking a custom font, but after that I'll just be done and move on.
There's no "flex" if I never even show anyone my dev environment or talk about what font I use. I think you're experiencing selection bias in thinking that only people who flex care about their fonts. ;)
It'd be nice to have a word for something you care substantially about, but with fleeting desire and no desire to preen about.
I am on Iosevka now partly because I can pull it from AUR in my setup scripts which is something not all do.
But you claim that I am suffering from mental bias, while you know nothing about me other than a single post.
Maybe it is just that I posted something a little too close to the mark for you, and rather than reflect on why that might bother you, you externalize it.
