The drawback to spaces is that people with vision issues or dyslexia lose the ability to make the code more readable in their IDE by adjusting tab size.

    I can't speak to dyslexia (but in would guess that 4 spaces is easier than 2?).

    At my last job we had a default linter policy of 4 spaces across all languages (python, JS, rust, mostly). We also had a blind coder. He never mentioned it. I'd guess screen readers are capable of dealing with it these days?
