A user tried to use FURN for their UI, but their macOS UI is trying to use Segoe UI, which isn't available by default on those platforms, and isn't licensed to be distributed.

Should our default macOS theme refer to a different font?

I'm guessing they didn't see: https://github.com/microsoft/fluentui-react-native/blob/e3fd6683a294536ccae1a8c6b4ccc82a4b75ae48/docs/pages/Theming/DefaultThemes.md#macos

I wonder if defaultTheme shouldnt just do the right thing based on the platform?
