Fair point, many distros don't bundle by default the fonts because they disagree with the free as in beer but not free as in speech nature of the fonts.
Though many distros still make them available for those that want them. For instance, in Ubuntu they are included in the "Restricted Extras" meta-package, or specifically in the ttf-mscorefonts-installer package.
