Sorry, I was a bit careless in stating that GNU/Linux, as a whole,
defaults to that face; fontconfig on my desktop systems does.

In any case, I find it odd that courier is the first fallback in
"Monospace". I suppose this may be what you meant by "the code tells a
different story". What about searching first for some other popular
sans-serif alternatives, such as Liberation Mono?
