Leaded paint was predominant in the 19th and well into the 20th century. That neither made it the right choice, nor did it "win the war". This opinion piece does absolutely nothing to settle the debate, and instead is just dumps more gasoline on the fire.

there is still a problem if any programmers wish to use modern proportional fonts (because a space is no longer the same width as every other character).
Ewww, who uses non monospaced fonts for programming ?

Probably the same maniac using 8 spaces for indentation in C.
Yes, my uni professor used that, and he was indeed a maniac, a brilliant one.

GDscript also uses tabs, which I thought was an interesting choice by the Godot team. Especially as it seems so heavily inspired by Python.

Run a code formatter on commit hook. Boom, never complain about tabs, spaces, or any other formatting nonsense ever again. Imo any time spent discussing formatting on PRs is wasted time that could be spent discussing the actual quality of the code.
