A *buntu OS install does not work that way. An image of the OS is blasted to the disk, not by installing individual packages for everything. It is designed to be as simple as possible, as well as compact as possible. All while supporting the wides set of languages in the iso.
Now, the installer could do what is done to do the 'Minimal install' option, and physically uninstall excess software packages after the image has been copied to disk.
Could be done, sure. Will they, for the tiny percentage of people over the past 15+ years who have an issue with the number of fonts? I doubt it.
But that shouldn't stop anyone from going to Ubuntu and proposing such a thing, for sure. I think that is how the 'minimal' option eventually came about, I believe.
Kubuntu devs don't really deal with the installer software much, iirc.
