Sure, but they don't belong there.  collection-basic provides plain
TeX and LaTeX and is supposed to be small, especially because the new
engines are able to use system fonts and for pdfTeX the OTF are
useless.

IMO the problem is caused by fontspec and should be fixed there.  Why
should one be forced to install a font which one doesn't use?

BTW, fontspec loads the metrics only, the font doesn't appear in the
PDF file.

Microsoft isn't the answer. Microsoft is the question, and the answer is NO.
