Sague font family is probably important on Windows.

... available by default for some reason on Garuda Linux, while Segoe UI is not available.

This might be a bug in Garuda? That sounds like a strange choice.

Segoe UI surely is and my proposed patch doesn't remove it. I'm talking about Segoe UI Symbol here, which is rarely used on the web (for obvious reasons).

I revised the patch to only add cross-platform default fonts (system-ui) and keep the rest as they are.
