They're free to do as they like - and again, it's certainly a
functional good-enough; I just wouldn't classify it as particularly
nice on an aesthetic level, is all.
Although perhaps moot, the Nimbus fonts, being part of the ghostscript
URW collection, AFAIK do not support Unicode. although they do support
most European languages.
Haven't checked it for full Unicode coverage; fortunately, I don't need
more than extended Latin in my day-to-day, which it handles just fine.
