Why can't we just build the fonts once and load the built ones?

It takes several seconds to use the async webworker and it just takes a long time before any text shows. Preloading for several seconds just to view some text, where everything else loads in less than 200ms feels tough.

What is the reason why it all has to be rebuilt every time?

Several seconds? I see the example doc taking a total of 120ms for worker processing and SDF texture generation, when the font file loads from cache. Do you have an example I can view?

It took seconds on first load but is indeed fast on subsequent loads
