Inheriting from default would be equivalent to defining the attributes
as just nil.

The whole purpose of this is to make quoted text appear different, so we
don't want to use the default face.

I agree that a specific family is kind of annoying and theoretically
problematic, but it sounds too hypothetical to bother fixing (and to
know how to fix).

Do you have a concrete situation at hand?
Maybe we can address the problem with a a bit more fiddling of
face-font-family-alternatives.
