If you can't open any TeX book and instantly recognize it and see how

Mr Daniels, you simply show your ignorance. Yes, the default styles of
LaTeX are easy to recognize. However, most publishing firms using TeX
have their own styles which are usually indistinguishable from the
results of other typesetting software. As I said, you have most likely
seen dozens of books typeset with TeX without knowing it.

Yet Knuth's "Computer Modern" -- the default font of TeX -- gets praised
to the skies by engineers (and not by anyone who's ever been involved in
book or type design).

No one puts a gun to the head of TeX users and forces them to use
Computer Modern. Any Type 1 or TrueType font can be used with the
system.
