But if JetBrains is the font of the default face, then having Courier
for a non-default face is expected, and even desired.  So I'm not sure
I understand your complaint.  Did you expect the fixed-pitch face to
have the same font as the default face?  If so, it's a wrong
expectation: we deliberately defined the fixed-pitch face to have a
different typeface, so that it stands out.

And the default font on GNU/Linux is also DejaVu Sans Mono?
